On this evening, Jazz Festival Basel will be presenting two separate concerts under the title “Groovy and Funky.” Nubya Garcia is an artist who defies easy categorization. For the London-born saxophonist, composer, and bandleader, everything stems from a place of exploration and self-study, a desire to transcend disciplines and ignore arbitrary boundaries that don't fit. Garcia's second album, "Odyssey," released in September 2024, is a majestic work on which she blends orchestral arrangements with R&B, jazz, broken beat, and dub. The result is a grandiose, nuanced album that feels airy and ethereal without sacrificing groove.
Tickets are CHF 58.60-89.90. Consider buying a combo-ticket for CHF 96.90-127.90, which includes this concert and the concert John Scofield Duets with Gerald Clayton on the same evening.
