Nubya Garcia plays Cork Jazz Festival 2025
At the height of the 2020 lockdown and intensely missing the cancelled Cork Jazz Festival, I pondered here over a set of perfect guests for the annual Cork celebration of jazz. The London musician featured not only for her solo work but also as part of drummer Jake Long’s Maisha. That’s how integral Garcia is to the current jazz moment. It was such a joy then to hear the announcement that Nubya Garcia will play this year’s festival, playing The Everyman on Saturday 26th October.
