Nubya Garcia's debut referenced her Caribbean background while bringing soul, dub, cumbia, and sound system culture to jazz. Now, her sophomore album 'Odyssey' expands those influences into orchestral realms.
Opening track 'Dawn' features Esperanza Spalding and has strings that evoke a late period 4hero feel, showcasing a shimmering color wheel of bright emotion.
Drummer Sam Jones operates in live, erratic broken-beat mode, infusing compositions with haunting ghost notes that create a wild verve and ecstatic swing.
Joe Armon-Jones's roving piano lines remind listeners that his playing remains a universe unto itself, while Daniel Casmir's double bass work deepens Garcia's sonic explorations.
