Blume
Nérija is Nubya Garcia (tenor saxophone), Sheila Maurice-Grey (trumpet), Cassie Kinoshi (alto saxophone), Rosie Turton (trombone), Shirley Tetteh (guitar), Lizy Exell (drums) and Rio Kai (bass). Blume is a truly breath-taking collection of compositions that perfectly encapsulates everything Nérija. Vibrant, engaging, infectious and truly current, Blume takes you on a sprawling wonderful journey, arriving at what is a majestic body of work of their personal and collective experiences and inspirations over the last half decade or so.
The rowdy and promising debut from this London septet is further evidence of the London jazz scene’s vitality.
The debut full-length album by Britain's Nérija, 2019's Blume, features the female-led jazz ensemble on a set of original tunes that showcases their earthy brand of modern jazz.
