Yazz Ahmed Quartet

Yazz Ahmed (trumpet and flugelhorn), has played alongside many internationally acclaimed jazz musicians, including Toshiko Akiyoshi, Rufus Reid, Laurence Cottle, and Sir John Dankworth.

With Lewis Wright (vibraphone), Dave Manington (bass guitar and loop station), Corrina Silvester (percussion), she will be performing music from her debut album ‘Finding My Way Home’ – compositions and improvisations exploring the music of her Arabic heritage, contrasted with British jazz from the 1950s which she was introduced to by her grandfather, jazz trumpeter, Terry Brown.
