La Saboteuse Yazz Ahmed SKU: NAIMLP340 Barcode: 5053760029434 31.00 £31.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Naim Absolute Released Date: 12th May 2017 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Bahraini-British performer, Yazz Ahmed, is transforming what jazz means in 2017. This trumpet and flugelhorn-playing artist has worked with Radiohead and These New Puritans, experiments with electronic effects, and combines sounds from her shared heritage to author a new narrative for the genre. Part of the new wave of artists credited with stirring up the sound, including Kamasi Washington, Yussef Kamaal, Sons of Kemet and The Comet is Coming, Yazz Ahmed is thrilled by the possibilities of making something new. “I feel like I’m a part of modernising jazz and connecting it with audiences today,” Yazz says. “It’s exciting.” Yazz spent her early childhood in Bahrain, her paternal homeland, before moving to London with her English mother at the age of nine. There, she became fascinated by her grandfather’s trumpet playing, and vowed to learn the instrument herself. Yazz’s sound is unique. Her take on jazz weaves in Arabic melodies to evocative, cinematic effect. “I love the sounds of Arabic music. The traditional folk singing is so heartfelt, elemental and passionate.” Future-facing and fascinating, Yazz Ahmed is part of a glimmering new constellation in the jazz firmament. And her next project is destined to take her further into the stars. “I’m planning to write a piece inspired by the ever-changing structures of the universe,” she concludes. Her new album ‘La Saboteuse’ is a deep exploration of both her British and Bahraini roots. Ably assisted by musicians including Lewis Wright on vibraphone, MOBO-winning new jazz kingpin Shabaka Hutchings on bass clarinet and Naadia Sherriff on Fender Rhodes keyboard, it’s composed of undulating rhythms, Middle Eastern melody and Yazz’s sonorous trumpet lines. The record sounds like the passage of a desert caravan, bathed in moonlight. The theme of ‘La Saboteuse’ is the sense of self-doubt that Yazz feels when she is creating, personified in a female saboteur, an anti-muse that spurs her into action. “Giving ‘her’ a name has really helped me to identify those negative voices we all get,” she says. “I know what it is and I know how to combat it.” Artist Yazz Ahmed Genre Jazz Label Naim Absolute Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Inhale Jamil Jamal Misophonia The Space Between The Fish And The Moon La Saboteuse Al Emadi Inspiration Expiration The Lost Pearl Bloom Beleille Whirling Organ Eternal Exhale Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz Nearly New View Product Quick View Passport Oceanliner Jazz | Atlantic | 1LP Released 4th May 2022 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Passport Oceanliner £10.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Atlantic SKU: nn241839 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th May 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Etta James Collected Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th October 2019 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Etta James Collected £27.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2520C Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dinah Washington The Divine Miss Dinah Washington Jazz | Verve | 180g, 5LP, Box Set Released 22nd December 2017 £86.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dinah Washington The Divine Miss Dinah Washington £86.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 5378747 Formats: 180g, 5LP, Box Set Released Date: 22nd December 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Timo Lassy Live with Lassy Downtempo | Schema | 2LP, CD Released 3rd December 2013 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Timo Lassy Live with Lassy £30.00 Genre: Downtempo Label: Schema SKU: LPSC465 Formats: 2LP, CD Released Date: 3rd December 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Aaron Parks Invisible Cinema (Classic Vinyl) Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 180g, 2LP Released 21st June 2024 £35.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Aaron Parks Invisible Cinema (Classic Vinyl) £35.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 5832038 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 21st June 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hubert Laws Afro Classic Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 15th June 2015 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hubert Laws Afro Classic £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: CTI6006 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 15th June 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Coltrane Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary – Original Soundtrack Jazz | Decca UME | 2LP Released 16th February 2018 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary – Original Soundtrack £29.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca UME SKU: 5798711 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 16th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View OZO Saturn Jazz | Riot Season | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th February 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders OZO Saturn £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Riot Season SKU: REPOSELP090 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk Genius Of Modern Music Volume One Jazz | Universal/Blue Note | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 23rd October 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk Genius Of Modern Music Volume One £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Universal/Blue Note SKU: 3773073 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 23rd October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis & John Coltrane Trane’s Blues Jazz | BMG Records | 1LP Released 19th October 2018 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis & John Coltrane Trane’s Blues £13.00 Genre: Jazz Label: BMG Records SKU: 4050538423341 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
