Here’s an instant choreography trajectory, with all kinds of gentle, cool changes in color and texture. This track moves up and moves down, but Yazz Ahmed, a British Bahraini trumpet and flugelhorn player, keeps a steady development that carries you right along. For class or choreography, give this a listen.
This is from Ahmed’s 2017 release La Saboteuse, and you can hear more from the album at Ahmed’s Bandcamp.
Here’s a little more about her from her site, yazzahmed.com —
Since releasing Finding My Way Home in 2011, British-Bahraini trumpet player, Yazz Ahmed, has emerged as a distinctive voice on the UK Jazz scene, both as a soloist and composer.
Her new album, La Saboteuse, is a deep exploration of her mixed heritage and her growing interest in sound design and electronic effects. The album has been described as ‘intoxicating, compelling and sonically outstanding’, and transforming what jazz means in the 21st century.
