Key elements of the current London jazz scene lead by saxophonist Nubya Garcia. Also featuring Moses Boyd on Drums, Joe Armon Jones on Piano, Daniel Casimir on Bass, Femi Koloeso on Drums, Sheila Maurice Grey on Trumpet and Theon Cross on Tuba. Initial 200 press sold out within 1 hour. Her lead debut is a winning excursion into groove-based modal jazz, alighting on similar territory to Kamasi Washington. Ideal summer listening, and an impressive calling card from the hugely talented Garcia. 5ive is remarkable, an intoxicating combination of vibrant soloing and stay-in-your-head hooks: At a recent set during New York's Winter Jazzfest, Garcia had a sold-out crowd whooping with recognition when she played the first riff on the album's opener, Lost Kingdoms.
