Язз Ахмед
Яззз Ахмед играет на трубе и флюгельгорне, ее отец из Бахрейна, а мама из Великобритании. Язз сотрудничала с такими группами как «Radiohead» и «These New Puritans». В своем творчестве она экспериментирует с электронными эффектами и создает свою музыкальную вселенную. Являясь частью новой волны артистов, которые хотят сломать старые джазовые коды, такие как Камаси Вашингтон, Юсеф Камал, Кристиан Скотт, Язз Ахмед вдохновлена возможностью создания нового в джазовой музыке. «Я чувствую, что являюсь частью модернизации джаза и его связи с современной аудиторией, – говорит Язз, – Это очень увлекательно».
Язз провела свое раннее детство в Бахрейне, на родине отца, а затем переехала в Лондон, на родину своей матери, в возрасте девяти лет. Там она увлеклась игрой на трубе дедушки и начала самостоятельно осваивать инструмент. Она выбрала джаз как форму самовыражения. Звук Язз уникален. Она поразительно вплетает джаз в арабские мелодии создавая ностальгический, кинематографический эффект. «Я люблю звуки арабской музыки. Традиционное народное пение – очень душевное, естественное и страстное. Я впитала эту музыку ребенком, но только в последние годы она стала проявляться в моем исполнении и сочинениях. Я хочу объединить арабскую музыкальную традицию и британское джазовое наследие, музыку, которую мой дедушка играл для меня».
Джаз традиционно был мужским жанром. Но Язз бросает вызов этому стереотипу, в чем ей помогает новая волна женщин-музыкантов. «Появляется все больше женщин - джазовых музыкантов, и отношение меняется, – говорит она. – Люди видят, что женщины могут играть так же хорошо, как и мужчины. Ситуация меняется, но все же еще очень многие по прежнему относятся к женщинам в джазе».
Ее альбом 2017 года «La Saboteuse» – это глубокое исследование ее британских и бахрейнских корней. Тема «La Saboteuse» – это чувство неуверенности в себе, которое испытывает Язз, сочиняя музыку, олицетворяя собой женщину-диверсанта, антимузу, которая побуждает ее к действию. Альбом «La Saboteuse», над которым Язз работала 6 лет, попал во множество списков лучших джазовых пластинок 2017 года, включая номинацию «джазовый альбом года» премии The Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards авторитетнейшего джазового критика и ведущего BBC Джайлза Питерсона. А издание Treblezine назвало «La Saboteuse» «одним из самых удачных примеров фьюжна в сегодняшней музыке».
Рассказывая о своих планах, Язз говорит: «Я хочу написать композицию, вдохновленную постоянно изменяющимися структурами во Вселенной». https://www.yazzahmed.com/

Yazz Ahmed
Yazz Ahmed is a British-Bahraini trumpet & flugelhorn player and composer. Through her music, she seeks to blur the lines between jazz and electronic sound design, bringing together the sounds of her mixed heritage in what has been described as ‘psychedelic Arabic jazz, intoxicating and compelling’.
Yazz has led her ensembles in performances across the UK & Europe and further afield in Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Tunisia, Algeria, Bahrain, Kuwait, USA & Canada. She has also enchanted audiences at major festivals such as WOMAD, Love Supreme, NYC Winter Jazz Fest & Pori Jazz.
Her career is studded with high profile collaborations, which have seen her record and perform with the likes of Radiohead, Lee Scratch Perry, Transglobal Underground, Susheela Raman, Tarek Yamani, Amel Zen, including a world tour with These New Puritans.
As a guest soloist and composer, Yazz has performed with Arturo O’Farrill’s Afro Cuban Jazz Orchestra, Cambridge University Jazz Orchestra, NYJO, NYOS, and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama Jazz Orchestra.
Alhaan al Siduri, a suite written with support from Birmingham Jazzlines, premiered in October 2015 at CBSO Centre, Birmingham. This suite is influenced by Yazz’s Bahraini roots, drawing from the folk music of the Bahraini pearl divers and traditional wedding songs sung by women. The second performance of this suite marked Yazz’s debut in her paternal homeland, at the Bahrain International Music Festival, 2016.
Also in 2015, Tomorrow’s Warriors, with support from PRS Women Make Music, commissioned Yazz to write a suite inspired by courageous and influential women. Polyhymnia was premiered by the Nu Civilisation Orchestra at the WOW! Festival on International Women’s Day in March 2015.
During her year as an LSO Soundhub composer in 2016, Yazz was able to explore writing music for her newly developed quarter-tone flugelhorn. This is a unique instrument, enabling her to get closer to the spiritual nature of the ‘blues notes’ in Arabic music, deeply infusing her sound with that of her heritage.
The Planets 2018, a work created especially for a tour of planetariums, is a celebration of the centenary of Holst’s suite and modern astronomy. Commissioned by the Ligeti Quartet, Yazz’s composition Saturn was featured and performed around the UK in October 2018.
Continuing her explorations into space, Yazz was later commissioned by the Open University to write a solo piece inspired by the moon, which was performed at the OU Moon Night in December 2018.
Yazz’s second album, La Saboteuse, was released on Naim Records in 2017. The album made a global impact, clocking up multiple rave reviews and making many ‘best of 2017’ lists around the world, including Jazz Album of the Year in The Wire magazine, and achieving the number 18 spot in Bandcamp’s top 100 albums (all genres).
“This is enchanting, late night music that floats on the liminal space between dreams and reality. And for sheer, unconquered beauty, there are few albums of any genre that reach these heady heights. Ahmed, in diving deep within herself, comes back up for air with a mysterious, wondrous artefact humming in her hands,” the2010s.net
La Saboteuse Remixed, released in August 2018, features collaborations with three of Europe’s eminent electronic DJ’s – Hector Plimmer, DJ Khalab and Blacksea Não Maya. Four of the pieces from the original album have been reimagined, taking her music to a new realm and reaching out to a new audience.
This June 2019 saw the coda to La Saboteuse revealed: A Shoal of Souls. Composed as a reaction to Sophie Bass’s striking artwork for La Saboteuse, the piece is dedicated to the thousands of lives lost in recent years by those attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea in search of a better future.
A Shoal of Souls was also featured as the soundtrack to an Apple iPhone 11 advertising campaign.
The limited edition single was released via Bandcamp’s new vinyl fulfilment service in association with IXCHEL Records, bringing the La Saboteuse project to a close.
Yazz Ahmed’s long anticipated third album, Polyhymnia, 2019, is a grand work conceived as a message to the world about the history and growing empowerment of women. The album is a series of powerful tributes to noted women in history, whose stories resonated and inspired Yazz: Rosa Parks; Malala Yousafzai; Ruby Bridges; Haaifa Al-Mansour; Barbara Thompson; and The Suffragettes. Rich in musical imagery, Polyhymnia explores the history of these women and their struggles and triumphs, evoking the universal human concepts of forgiveness, oppression, hopefulness, and power to overcome.
Yazz is currently touring across the UK, performing music from Polyhymnia with her 12-piece ensemble, and working on the production of an EP with her side project, Electric Dreams, recorded at performances in London and Newcastle last year. https://www.yazzahmed.com/about-me/

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.”
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.”
‘La Saboteuse’ will be released in four chapters incrementally, unravelling the story, before the full version is available. Each chapter has its own cover, with beautiful illustrations by Bristol artist Sophie Bass. “I feel really touched, nobody’s created art from my music before, it’s really special,” Yazz says.
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. “My grandfather, my mum’s dad, was a trumpet player, and I was quite taken by him, inspired. I wanted to learn the trumpet at school.” Jazz became her chosen form of expression, because “I loved the spirit of the music, the freedom. There’s a lot of joy, mystery. I connected with it”. 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. I absorbed it as a child, but only in the past few years has it come to the surface in my playing and writing. I want to embrace my culture and my British jazz heritage, the music my grandfather played to me.”
Jazz has traditionally been a male-dominated sphere, though Yazz is challenging that notion. To start with she found it a hindrance, but has been empowered by a new wave of women musicians. “There are more female jazz musicians and attitudes are changing,” she says. “People see that women can play just as well as the men. But there are still areas that haven’t caught up with the rest of society. It’s getting better, but we can do more.”
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.
