Zoh Amba

Zoh Amba has been played on NTS shows including Geologist Presents: The O'Brien System, with The Flower School first played on 20 July 2023.

Zoh Amba is a saxophonist from Kingsport, Tennessee who since moving to New York in fall 2021 has quickly emerged into a notable presence in the avant garde scene. Zoh has spent considerable time studying with David Murray in New York, and also at the San Francisco Conservatory Of Music & New England Conservatory.

Today, her powerfully unique avant-garde music is full of folk melodies, mesmerizing refrains, and repeated incantations.

Zoh Amba’s second record, Bhakti features Micah Thomas, Tyshawn Sorey, and Matt Hollenberg.
