Canadian Chelsea McBride’s compositions bustle with a looping energy, evoking the pace of city life.
Saxophonist Chelsea McBride (Canada) brings her harmonically layered, infectiously energetic work to a big band setting under the auspices of Jenna Cave’s Divergence Jazz Orchestra. Her debut release took a modernist, orchestral approach to jazz, charting the journey of a daydreaming commuter – a bustling, polyrhythmic jostle of interlocking instrumentation, alive with the energy and distraction of city life.

This New York City native saxophonist/bandleader is more than just a player, she’s a vocalist and a lyricist, and a cross-cultural force of nature who has played consistently with the greatest jazz, funk, hip hop and pop talent.
