Yazz Ahmed Quartet

July 4 @ 21:00

Yazz Ahmed Quartet (GB)

Yazz Ahmed, trumpet, flugelhorn; Ralph Wyld, vibraphone; Flo Moore, bass; Josh Blackmore, drums

If we had to summarize the British-Bahraini trumpeter Yazz Ahmed’s myriad musical forays and shifts into a short descriptive framework, we could say that her work combines jazz, Arabic traditions and electronic sounds into a fascinating assemblage, which has been described as “psychedelic Arabic jazz”. Her versatility is reflected in the richly varied collaborations that have seen her perform with the likes of Radiohead, Lee Scratch Perry, Transglobal Underground, Arturo O’Farrill, Natacha Atlas, Obongjayar, etc.

A prominent protagonist of the exciting “London’s new jazz” scene, Yazz released her debut album, Finding My Way Home, in 2011. It was her second album, La Saboteuse that truly made a major impact, clocking up multiple rave reviews, including Jazz Album of the Year in The Wire magazine....
