Expressive jazz with an exquisite, distinctive tone.

US saxophonist Nicole McCabe’s captivating, multifaceted sound is soaked with both sensitive elegance and the inspiring energy of hard bop. At times compressed and demanding, then gentle again, questioning, with a beautiful, slow vibrato, her music delights listeners with its melodic sensitivity and radiant expressiveness. Yvonne Rogers provides the accompaniment, full of sparkling and articulated runs that intertwine delicately around the melody and switching to gentle chords during solo excursions by saxophone and piano. Logan Kane supports the dense atmosphere with his warm, clearly articulated tone, while Myles Martin provides the perfect rhythmic underpinning for this enthralling concert. The music radiates depth, forward drive and shining joie de vivre all at the same time.

It is a treat for fans of the thriving US jazz scene – one that lives up to tradition and catapults it to a new level.

Nicole McCabe released her latest album “Landscapes” in 2022 on the Spanish Fresh Sound label. Inspired by picturesque rides along the US West Coast, she extends her roots, which are firmly planted in hard bop, into new, gentler and fresh territory.
