Nubya Garcia: Odyssey
Support: Marysia Osu

Nubya Garcia isn’t an artist you can easily classify. Is it jazz? Sure, the London-born saxophonist, composer and bandleader grew up studying the genre under the noted pianist Nikki Yeoh at Camden Music. But it isn’t until you listen to albums like 2020’s Source and 2024’s Odyssey that you hear broader creativity shining through: it’s jazz, classical, dub, R&B and whatever else Garcia wants to convey. It all comes from a place of exploration and self-study, of wanting to do all the things across all disciplines while ignoring arbitrary boxes that don’t fit.

Garcia’s sophomore album Odyssey, out in September 2024 via Concord Jazz, is a majestic feat. It’s a deeply personal offering about her trek to falling back in love with musical composition over the past four years.

Source, her 2020 Mercury-nominated debut album, was released via Concord Jazz to massive critical acclaim. The New York Times called it “a sweeping set of jazz with Afro-Caribbean influences that funnels a life’s worth of experiences into an hourlong listen.”

About Marysia Osu
Polish-born, London-based harpist, producer and composer Marysia Osu is known for her innovative blend of classical, ambient and jazz. Her work reflects a deep connection to beauty, emotion and self-expression.

Graduating with a degree in classical music, Osu specialised in performance on the harp. During this four-year course, she started experimenting and expanding the sound of the harp using fx pedals, lent to her from friends on a jazz course. As a harpist making her mark on the London jazz scene, she is a member of Levitation Orchestra and has blessed records with the dreamy sonics of the harp for artists such as Maxwell Owin & Joe Armon Jones, Puma Blue, Alabaster dePlume, Laura Misch, Yazmin Lacey and Loyle Carner.

Her debut album harp, beats & dreams was released in 2024 on Brownswood Recordings.
