Praise for Nérija’s Blume:
“a sound that both breathes and bends jazz tradition…one of London’s most exciting new jazz collectives” – JAZZIZ
“rowdy and promsing…thrums with tension while never losing the reggae and funk bits that remind you this is club music at heart” – PITCHFORK
“a lively, danceable album that makes it nearly impossible to sit still when it’s on.” – BROOKLYN VEGAN
“conveys an undeniably warm spirituality that reflects Nérija’s glowing rapport… an ebullient, opulent sound” – DOWNBEAT
“a group of stellar musicians utilizing their exceptional talent in a display of dazzling interplay and organic, infectious energy” – EARMILK

Blume is a truly breath-taking collection of compositions that perfectly encapsulates everything Nérija; vibrant, engaging, infectious and truly current. For just over an hour, they take us on a sprawling wonderful journey, arriving at what is a majestic body of work; their personal and collective experiences and inspirations over the last half decade or so.
Nérija are comprised of 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).
