    On her stunning debut album, A Lotus in the Mud, composer and bandleader Yu Nishiyama crafts vibrant, multi-hued music from the roiling and often messy emotions of human existence. Due out May 20th via Next Level, the album marks the emergence of a dazzling new voice in the big band tradition with five bold and densely layered original compositions and a lush reimagining of a classic standard.

    “A Lotus in the Mud is based on the Japanese Buddhist saying ‘Deichu No Hachisu’ – the lotus blooms better if the mud is dirtier,” Nishiyama explains. “Normally I don’t show my emotions to people, but I feel like I can express them through music. I think this album really shows my personality and reveals who I am.”
