Dark Circles is very proud to present a unique solo performance from Yazz Ahmed at Crown House, St Leonards. What a treat!
Dubbed the 'high priestess of psychedelic Arabic jazz’, Yazz Ahmed has been hailed as one of the most influential trumpet players of her generation. An Ivor Novello award-winning composer, she makes sweeping epics that are rich with storytelling, depicting evocative ancient worlds and mythological muses.
Blending her British-Bahraini heritage with contemporary jazz, A Paradise In The Hold, the latest album, is a tribute to the sorrowful songs of Bahrain’s pearl divers, the strength of Arab women, and the celebratory rhythms of women's traditional drumming circles, while also telling the story of Yazz’s own decade-long voyage of self-discovery.
Critics have praised the album for its fiery blend of instinct and improvisation:
“Yazz Ahmed has created her most exquisite sonic world yet on A Paradise In The Hold, 10 tracks of magnetic, boundary-transcending jazz" – UNCUT.
