Nancy Ruth‘s latest release Sangria Jam is a musical journey recounting her travels and life in Spain. Combining her influences of jazz, Latin and flamenco, she says: “I write what flows freely… I’m not trying to create a fusion, I just play what I feel. I’m a product of my experience and surroundings.”
Having toured Spain and Latin America in 2017, Nancy is looking forward to returning to Australia with shows in Adelaide, Drysdale, Ballarat, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
“Nancy Ruth, a powerful and talented singer, combines together jazz, flamenco and Latin rhythms in a natural way, creating a fresh genre that fits into all three idioms.” – Scott Yanow, Los Angeles Jazz Scene
Nancy Ruth has an incredible story about how she moved to Spain from Canada, on her own with hardly any resources – not even a mobile phone and limited Spanish. Despite starting with nothing and knowing no one, she persisted and fully integrated into living as a Spaniard, learning the culture, and becoming completely fluent in Spanish. She wrote an album all about that experience called Sangria Jam.
As Nancy puts it, “Sangria Jam refers to the way my loves of jazz, flamenco, and latin rhythms come together, as well as my mixed European bloodline, which in part traces back here to Spain. I’m not trying to create a fusion, but rather freely reflect my experience and surroundings. Sin prisas, pero sin pausas…this recording has taken its own time and course, just like a typical day here in Spain, where for all the plans you may make, life leads you around unexpected corners. The idea is to ride the wave… enjoy the phrase, devour the moments, and notice the magic that catches you off guard”.
