"She's set to take the stage on Saturday, Oct. 18, followed by performances by bassist Endea Owens and saxophonist Nubya Garcia . Garcia's style combines elements of jazz, R&B, dubstep, and classical music, and her work has been featured on FX's series "Atlanta" as well as in "Ted Lasso" and the online videogame "Fortnite." Her sophomore album, "Odyssey," released last fall, offers a modern take on what jazz can be."
"Owens, an emerging jazz artist who has performed alongside legends like Diana Ross, Solange and Jon Batiste will make her first appearance on the BRIC stage on Oct. 18. The up-and-comer has appeared on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" alongside the band Stay Human, and joined H.E.R.'s acclaimed Super Bowl performance. She released her debut album, "Feel Good Music," in 2023, and put out her second album, "Caught Up In This Illusion," in August."
BRIC's programming theme "Brooklyn, To The World!" frames a two-night JazzFest on Oct. 17–18 hosting a dozen international artists. Headliners include Dee Dee Bridgewater and Chief Adjuah. The festival emphasizes jazz's global, multicultural influences and evolving directions. Bridgewater is a Grammy-winner and recipient of the Doris Duke Artist award, inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, and co-hosted the 2024 Jazz Music Awards. Saturday features Endea Owens and Nubya Garcia. Garcia blends jazz, R&B, dubstep, and classical; Owens has performed with Diana Ross, Solange, and Jon Batiste and released two albums in 2023–2024.
