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 the 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. Garcia’s sophomore album Odyssey, out in September 2024 via 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. Visit: Nubya Garcia Nubya Garcia on Instagram and Facebook

Thousands are expected to rally at SDSU Mission Valley’s Snapdragon Stadium and river park on Oct. 27 for one of the region's most inspiring annual events: the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Hosted by the American Cancer Society, the event unites survivors, thrivers, caregivers, families and supporters in a powerful show of solidarity and hope. The goal is to raise funds and awareness to end breast cancer. The event will also celebrate another milestone with the naming of its first-ever honoree: SDSU alumna and 27-year employee Tammy Blackburn. As a metastatic breast cancer thriver, Blackburn is a fierce advocate for cancer patients and established the Wallace Shatsky Blackburn Courage Through Cancer Fund, which supports students impacted by the disease."It's really wonderful that SDSU gets to be a partner," said Blackburn. "There are just so many groundbreaking and innovative things that we are doing at San Diego State. Our partnership with the American Cancer Society and Making Strides feels right and I am confident that we will look back at this years from now and say, ‘yeah, we did that, we saved lives.’” Blackburn will attend the event to cheer on participants and says though she’ll feel a surge of emotion, she’s inspired and eager to be part of this important cause.
