Trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Yazz Ahmed is a gifted performer who draws inspiration from her love of post-bop jazz and her Middle Eastern heritage. She seeks to blur the lines between jazz and electronic sound design in a style she describes as "psychedelic Arabic jazz." Her globally acclaimed sophomore album, 2017's La Saboteuse, proved Ahmed a gifted soloist and arranger. She has led various ensembles on festival stages across Europe, North America, and the Middle East. She is at the forefront of the genre-blurring 21st century London jazz scene.
