SUMMARY:Nubya Garcia
DESCRIPTION: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 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. \nGarcia’s 2024 sophomore album Odyssey (Concord Jazz) is a majestic feat on which she blends orchestral arrangements with R&B\, jazz\, broken beat\, and dub\, resulting in a grand\, nuanced record that feels airy and celestial without sacrificing the groove. It’s a deeply personal offering about her trek to falling back in love with musical composition over the past four years. \nHer 2020 debut album Source was released via Concord Jazz to massive critical acclaim\, an NPR Tiny Desk Concert\, a Pitchfork “Best New Music” review and a Rolling Stone “Album of the Month” mention. 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.” The album entered the UK charts in the Top 30\, and Garcia was one of just three artists selected to perform live at Glastonbury’s 2020 Experience\, which aired on the BBC to thousands of viewers. Source was also nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize\, an award given to the best album from the UK or Ireland. \nCalling Garcia’s latest release “a veritable quest of a record\,” Pitchfork raved that “Odyssey isn’t just full of ideas; it’s full of good ideas—rich\, challenging\, and inspiring in their largess.” \nFronting an incandescent quartet\, Nubya Garcia is unquestionably “one of the leading lights of the new young London jazz scene” (Jazzwise). \nThis is an accessible venue. If assistance is required please contact: boxoffice@coastaljazz.ca \nPlease Note: Seating is limited with a mix of seating and standing room. Arrive early for seating. Box Office & Lobby open at 6:30 PM; House opens at 7:00 PM; the show starts at 7:30 PM \nWe are grateful for the support of the Alan and Gwendoline Pyatt Foundation.

SUMMARY:Early Show: Big Fate
DESCRIPTION:Born from the fiery furnace of Mr. James Calvin Thompson\, Bigfate combines their frothy Jungle Jazz Fusion with an engaging spirit and fresh perspective on composition and groove. Navigating by heart and feel\, this instrumental groove engine gives you something familiar and simultaneously\, something passionately original. \nAmidst darkened secret laboratories under extreme conditions whilst studying the ancient texts\, Bigfate has concocted from rare earth materials some truly unknown Alchemy. When held to the light you’ll see the history of the stars unfold and time freed from its gravity. When held to the ear you hear the sound of love from the inner workings of the earth. When immersed in water\, purification. When held to flame\, it eliminates evil and sickness.

SUMMARY:The Matinee
DESCRIPTION:The Matinee’s words paint an apt depiction of how we’ve all felt these past few years. Having suddenly had time at home\, the band could have easily found themselves passing the days tinkering in the studio. “We were afraid of that freedom\, and didn’t want to fall victim to over-producing or over-thinking the songs\,” says frontman Matt Layzell. Instead\, they opted to track the new album all live off-the-floor and capture the performances they had so dearly been missing with no touring. The band brought in sought-after producer Steve Dawson from Nashville to help craft the sound\, and lend his pedal-steel chops to the record. “It was Steve’s enthusiasm for the songs that gave us the confidence to strip back the recording process from our previous albums\, and just gather around the mics and hit record” adds guitarist Matt Rose. The result is a collection of songs that feels at once both fresh and natural\, a testament to a group that has honed their craft for the past 15 years with relentless touring.

SUMMARY:MESTIZX
DESCRIPTION:MESTIZX is an eclectic and celebratory expression of post-genre\, de-colonial latinx music. Bolivian-born singer/multi-instrumentalist Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti and Chicago expat drummer Frank Rosaly’s 2024 debut on International Anthem and Nonesuch Records is “visionary music with boundaryless imagination and creativity” (AllMusic) that steers pre-and post-colonial Latin American rhythms into a collision with avant jazz\, Chicago post-rock\, minimalism\, electronica\, and folk. \nPartners in marriage and art\, the Amsterdam-based Ferragutti and Rosaly dive into their respective Bolivian\, Brazilian\, and Puerto Rican roots to create deeply personal meditations on decolonization and the defiant power of ritual and protest. They chose the title MESTIZX — a non-gendered version of the Spanish colonial word for a “mixed person” — to both challenge and embrace the liminality of their identities and artistic practices. Ferragutti’s notable collaborators include Alabaster DePlume\, jaimie branch\, Ab Baars\, Eric Boeren\, and Mary Oliver\, while Rosaly has worked with Fennesz\, Jeff Parker\, Thurston Moore\, Nels Cline\, Colin Stetson\, and many others. \nWith Ben Boye on keys\, autoharp\, and octatrack\, James McClure on trumpet and synth\, and bassist Nate McBride\, MESTIZX’s “infectiously kinetic compositions” (The Guardian) are a movement-inducing lifeline of communal\, celebratory\, soul-baring music. \nRead their recent interview with Stir.

SUMMARY:Kenton Loewen with Jesse Zubot
DESCRIPTION:Centred by his warm and emotional baritone\, Kenton Loewen’s alt/psych/folk debut album is “an explosive listen” (Vancouver Sun). \nOne of Canada’s premier drummers in creative improv (Gord Grdina\, Ken Vandermark\, Mats Gustafsson) and rock (with Dan Mangan + Blacksmith and in the original lineup of Mother Mother)\, the JUNO Award-winner is also a captivating singer-songwriter. His deeply personal songs about obsession\, depression\, and old-school heartbreak take on almost hallucinogenic qualities in collaboration with producer Jesse Zubot. A violinist and sonic shaper unlike any other\, Zubot is known for his longtime collaboration with Tanya Tagaq and film scores like Bones of Crows and Indian Horse. \nPlease note\, Caley Watts was scheduled to be on this bill but her performance has been cancelled for this evening. We hope to present her again at a later date.
