La beauté sauvera-t-elle le monde ? Réponse moyen-orientale en trompette, piano, guitare, violoncelle et percussions. Notre 1ère invitée est la trompettiste anglo-bahreïnienne Yazz Ahmed.Le quatrième album studio de Yazz Ahmed, A Paradise in The Hold, s'inspire de la musique folklorique de Bahreïn, l'île des deux mers, dans laquelle les chants de travail des plongeurs de perles et leurs chants de nostalgie et de solitude contrastent avec la musique de célébration des groupes de tambours féminins traditionnels qui se produisent lors des mariages et des festivals.La suite originale de 90 minutes, Alhaan Al Siduri, qui constitue la base de cet album, a été composée en 2015. Le processus de création a commencé par un voyage de recherche à Bahreïn en 2014, au cours duquel j'ai assisté à un concert privé donné par les Pearl Divers de Muharraq, ma ville natale, et j'ai parcouru les librairies locales à la recherche de paroles de chansons de mariage et de poèmes. J'ai également eu le rare plaisir d'entendre mon grand-père me chanter des chansons de son propre mariage. À partir de ces deux éléments d'inspiration, les mots que j'ai trouvés et la musique que j'ai entendue, traitée avec mon nouvel intérêt pour la conception sonore, les compositions individuelles et la forme de la suite ont commencé à émerger. «La musique a évolué au cours de la dernière décennie grâce à des représentations en direct avec des ensembles de différentes tailles, des solos aux concerts avec orchestre symphonique. Pour cet enregistrement, j'ai adapté le matériel pour mettre en scène cinq chanteurs invités. Brigitte Beraha, Natacha Atlas, Randolph Matthews, Alba Nacinovich et Jason Singh se sont joints aux musiciens de mon groupe Hafla, élargissant ainsi la palette tonale de l'ensemble. Les paroles qu'ils chantent comprennent des fragments de chansons traditionnelles bahreïnies et des pensées issues de mes propres rêveries, des réflexions sur la lointaine maison de mon enfance.» Yazz Ahmed.Titres joués : Though My Eyes Go To Sleep, Al Naddaha, Dancing Barefoot et Into the Night.►  Album A Paradise In The Hold (Night Time Stories 2025).Site - Bandcamp - YouTube. Puis nous recevons le trio l'Antidote pour la sortie de L'Antidote.La beauté sauvera-t-elle le monde ? C'est le pari de Bijan Chemirani, Redi Hasa et Rami Khalifé, trois virtuoses réunis pour donner corps à L'Antidote, un répertoire instrumental qui oppose le pouvoir de guérison de la musique aux poisons des temps présents.Maître du zarb iranien et des percussions persanes qu'il aime plonger dans le jazz comme dans le grand bain méditerranéen, Bijan Chemirani croise ici sa science du rythme avec le violoncelliste albanais Redi Hasa — connu pour avoir œuvré au renouveau des musiques traditionnelles du sud de l'Italie, mais aussi aux côtés de Maria Mazzotta, Ludovico Einaudi ou encore Robert Plant — et le Libanais Rami Khalifé qui se joue avec maîtrise des frontières entre classique et électro sur les touches de son piano. Si leurs chemins s'étaient déjà croisés, la rencontre a véritablement lieu à l'orée de la pandémie, dans un studio des Pouilles, près de Lecce, alors que le temps semble sur le point de s'arrêter. Au cœur d'une mer de vignes, dans ce lieu magnifique baigné de lumière, les trois virtuoses se retrouvent à nouveau à l'automne 2024 pour enregistrer L'Antidote.«La musique est un antidote à la réalité qui, parfois, est entachée de déceptions et de rêves brisés», explique Rami Khalifé. «La musique a un effet thérapeutique sur l'esprit et sur le corps : elle nous apaise, elle nous donne de l'espoir, elle nous guérit et nous aide à voir les choses sous un nouvel angle.

Miles Davis' “Générique” floats in like he was blowing fog through his trumpet. It's a surreal, beautiful, late-night ode to the night itself and all its pain and delight. To stretch that feeling over an entire album, rather than three minutes, would be a Herculean task of skill and restraint. And yet, La Saboteuse exists. Yazz Ahmed's document of psychedelic, Bahraini-inspired Jazz feels and sounds like nothing else in its genre. In a decade that saw Jazz reborn and reimagined through the fertile chaos of Hip-hop, Minimalism, Afrobeat, Caribbean swing and Cuban rhythms, Ahmed crafted a myth of dream-like quality. So hear our interview with Yazz, read our thoughts on her work and see why it's the best of the 10s. “[Psychedelic music] means losing your mind, being totally captured by the music, going into a dream like state. ” — Yazz Ahmed

On the eve of the launch of her new album, ‘Seraph', featuring works for trumpet and string orchestra by James Macmillan, Grieg, and Satie, Tom Service speaks to Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth about her diagnosis with cancer last year, her relationship with music during gruelling treatment, and the conscious decision she made after her recovery to commit again to a career in music. As Arts Council England reveals its 2023-26 national portfolio of funded organisations, Music Matters speaks to ACE's Director of Music, Claire Mera Nelson, about the body's investment decisions. We hear from a cross section of organisations who've seen changes to their public funding, as well as first-time recipients, with contributions from Chief Executive of the Paraorchestra, Jonathan Harper; Artistic and Executive Director of MishMash productions, Liz Muge; and Chief Executive and Artistic Director of the Britten Sinfonia, Meurig Bowen. And as the EFG London Jazz Festival celebrates its 30th anniversary, Tom's joined by jazz author and presenter, Alyn Shipton, former Director of Serious (the creative company who administer the festival) Claire Whitaker; and the British-Bahraini jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist and composer, Yazz Ahmed, who discuss how the British jazz scene has evolved since the early 90s.

The album includes powerful tributes to noted women in history - Rosa Parks, Malala Yousafzai, Ruby Bridges, Haifa Al-Mansour, and BarbaraThompson.

Hillary Donnell and How Feminism is Shaping Jazz's Future

A large chunk of the work that goes into producing The Major Scale is research – lots of it. The majority of our time is spent reading, seeking new channels, and taking leads from faithful hardworking artist management and PR. This episode is a nod to these tireless efforts. The always anticipated Winter Jazz Festival is coming, and while reading about past years' events we came across an op-ed in Jazz Right Now titled "A Feminist Urge Is Driving the Shape of Jazz to Come," written by Hillary Donnell. The piece was so impressive and eye opening, looking at both the social roots of the music and towards the future that lay ahead, that we decided to book her for an interview on it. You might recognize Donnell, music journalist and DJ, from previous episodes of The Major Scale, and hopefully again in future broadcasts. In this episode, we discuss her op-ed in detail. She also picked out all the music to go along with it: from Geri Allen, Emma Jean Thackray, David Murray, Alice Coltrane, Nubya Garcia, Yazz Ahmed, and many more. Donnell knows her stuff, so don't sleep on this one! ABOUT THE MAJOR SCALE: Your attention please to a new program that celebrates and takes a fresh and bold look at the great American art form- JAZZ!!! The Major Scale is the title, the motto and the mission are, Jazz- past, present, future, and everything in between. A lot of focus will be on new and fresh sounds, deep cuts, closer looks at underrated artists, taking a different look at some of the titans of the genre, and getting the two cents worth from a number of surprise guests and sources. The Major Scale can boast amongst it's guests- legends like Herbie Hancock, Tom Scott, and Ahmad Jamal. The up and coming and the underrated-Kamasi Washington, Mia Doi Todd, Michael Blake. Fresh perspectives and commentary from the likes of Rock legend Al Kooper, who weighed in on the gospel. From The New Yorker, Amanda Petrusich expounds on her article about the movement to rename the Williamsburg Bridge in honor of Sonny Rollins. We explore the Soul-Jazz experiments of the Rascals. Grace Kelly from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert talks about her pop-up/flash mob concerts. Plus Thundercat, Henry Mancini, Ghostface Killah, Jaimie Branch, Nels Cline, Badbadnotgood, Cecil Taylor, and more get pick up on the Major Scale radar. Produced in Central Florida, this program seeks to become one of the defining voices of this Native American art form, and everything else that finds itself under it's umbrella. Think about programming and content found on the likes of World Cafe, Philadelphia, PA. Tiny Desk from Washington D.C., and KEXP Live from Seattle, WA. and that's what the Major Scale strives to do. For the curious, and lovers of music who like the details in between. ABOUT KYLE EAGLE (Host): Kyle Eagle has been a contributing writer and producer for the NPR-WBGO, WUCF, WPRK, Wax Poetics, The Orlando Weekly, Artbourne, and The Fiscal Times, as well as several music and film releases- Light in the Attic's documentary "This Is Gary McFarland", and an upcoming film on composer Jack Nietzsche. Recordings- Call Me-Jack Wilson, Live at the Penthouse, Grachan Moncur III, Chico Hamilton, and Andy Bey. ABOUT CHRIS BARANYI (Producer): Chris Baranyi is a sound engineer and music producer. He splits his time between designing AV systems for theme parks and recording music. Chris has worked with many Orlando area musicians with backgrounds in jazz, fusion, hip-hop, funk, new age, and classical. Some of which have been featured on NPR's Echoes. His passion includes jazz, vintage microphones, and hot sauce.
