49 videos • 3,187 views • by Night Time Stories We’re delighted to welcome British-Bahraini trumpeter and flugelhorn player Yazz Ahmed to the Night Time Stories family. And, to mark the occasion, we’re releasing her entire back catalogue on vinyl. First up - and available for the first time on vinyl - we have 2011’s "Finding My Way Home”. It’s Yazz Ahmed’s debut album, and it blends original compositions and improvisations, reflecting Yazz's Arabic heritage and classic jazz influences from the 1950s and 60s. Next up in our series of special Yazz Ahmed vinyl reissues, we have 2017’s "La Saboteuse". A revolutionary record, the album blends music from her dual heritage with electronic effects to redefine the genre. Finally available again on vinyl, the record delves into her British and Bahraini roots, featuring musicians including Samuel Hällkvist and Shabaka Hutchings, and is characterised by the flavour of its Middle Eastern melodies and evocative rhythms. Finally, we have Yazz Ahmed's acclaimed album ‘Polyhymnia’, which celebrates female courage, determination, and creativity. This album contrasts her previous work, "La Saboteuse," which was driven by her inner-destroyer or anti-muse.
