Nubya Garcia is a tenor saxophonist, bandleader and composer based in London. KEXP's Music Director Chris Sanley writes of this September release: "When Nubya Garcia says 'Odyssey,' she delivers on that promise. The spectacular sophomore album from this London-born saxophonist, composer, and bandleader is a true trip through space and time as she showcases her unique fusion of jazz, R&B, classical and dub. With frenetic movement and adventurous arrangements filled with epic swells of sound, these twelve dynamic tracks solidify Garcia as a powerful force in the modern jazz scene." https://kexp.org/read/2024/9/23/new-music-reviews-923/ https://nubyagarcia.bandcamp.com/album/odyssey https://www.nubyagarcia.com/ |

"Christmas In the City" was one of two songs that Motown had previously cancelled. Towards the end of 1972, Gaye co-wrote and produced two Christmas songs for a Holiday 45. This was the proposed B-side, with the A-side being "I Want to Come Home for Christmas" Gaye made heavy use of his Moog synthesiser, which had been given to him by Stevie Wonder. When Gaye pitched the two recordings, they were rejected by Motown due to its darker tone. The songs remained unreleased until the 1990s, when they were both released on separate compilations. https://www.marvingaye.net/ |
