Hailing from Peru saxophonist, flautist, and composer Allexa Nava has been making waves on the UK jazz scene for the last few years, both as an artist in her own right (performing at Ronnie Scott’s and Jazz In The Round) as well as a member of the all-female Latin ensemble and festival favourites Colectiva.

But it is her reputation as a bandleader and composer that is set to soar following the release of her highly anticipated debut EP No Language on the influential Jazz Re:freshed label.

This performance is part of Tomorrow’s Warriors’ Warriors Rise initiative, which sees the acclaimed jazz talent development organisation support three emerging Warriors’ artists build a UK tour, securing gigs, and providing tour planning and marketing mentoring.

Warriors Rise is a supported by the Stanley Thomas Johnson foundation and the PRS Foundation Talent Development Network Partner initiative supported by PPL.
