Polyhymnia
by Yazz Ahmed
Originally commissioned by the Tomorrow's Warriors organization, the British-Bahraini trumpeter composed this expansive suite as a tribute to courageous women throughout history, including Rosa Parks and Ruby Bridges. The record seamlessly blends massive, progressive big-band orchestration with intricate Arabic jazz scales and spiritual improvisation. It stands as a powerful, culturally rich triumph within the modern UK jazz scene.
