Say the
name "Aziza", and the words "Azerbaijan" and "jazz"
automatically come to mind for thousands of music fans
around the world. In concerts throughout Europe, Turkey
and the Middle East, Aziza Mustafa Zadeh has become
popular for her unique blend of jazz, classical music
and traditional muqam, Azerbaijan's improvisational
modal music.
Aziza
just released her sixth CD, called "Shamans", on Decca
Records in February 2002. On it, she continues to
develop her unique style, combining her classical
training from the Conservatory of Baku and her "scat
singing," which sounds remarkably like quavering Eastern
vocal lines.
