Yazz Ahmed in concert plus Nduduzo Makhathini

Concert highlights from British-Bahraini trumpeter Yazz Ahmed, plus South African pianist Nduduzo Makhathini鈥檚 inspirations.

Kevin Le Gendre presents concert highlights from British-Bahraini trumpeter Yazz Ahmed performing with her band at Tampere Jazz Happening 2021. Yazz is widely celebrated for her innovative and expansive compositions, which draw on her heritage, fusing jazz, Arabic music, electronic textures and more. Her eclectic style has led her to work with musicians from across the spectrum including Radiohead, Natacha Atlas and the late Lee 鈥淪cratch鈥� Perry. In 2020 she won the Jazz FM Award for UK Jazz Act of the Year, and the Jazz FM Album of The Year for her 2019 album 'Polyhymnia' and has also won the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for Innovation.

Also in the programme, we hear from South African piano virtuoso and educator Nduduzo Makhathini. Mentored by Bheki Msekelu, Makhathini continues to build upon the rich legacy of jazz greats in South Africa. He has released eight studio albums since 2014 and shows no sign of slowing down with his latest album 'In the Spirit of Ndu' released earlier this year. Here he shares his inspirations, including a soul-stirring blues track by South African jazz guitarist and vocalist Philip Tabane.
