In her growing body of work, rising star Los Angeles alto saxophonist Nicole McCabe infuses her hard-bop roots with influences ranging from electronic music to exploratory improvisation. McCabe’s compositions balance hard-edged grooves with lush harmonies and an expansive melodic sensibility, as she leads her razor-sharp ensemble through thrilling twists and turns.
