Aziza Mustafa Zadeh (born December 19, 1969), also known as "The Princess of Jazz", "Die Prinzessin des Jazz", or as "Jazziza", is an Azerbaijani singer, pianist, and composer who plays a fusion of jazz and mugam (a traditional improvisational style of Azerbaijan) with classical and avant-garde influences. Reviewers have said that her style also shows some influence from Keith Jarrett. She currently resides in Mainz, Germany, with her mother, Eliza Mustafa Zadeh, who is also her manager. Her two favorite leisure activities, she says, are painting and sleeping. She is a vegetarian. She believes in God, though she does not consider herself as belonging to any religion.
Aziza was born in Baku to musical parents Vagif and Elza Mustafa Zadeh. Vagif was a pianist and composer, famous for creating the mugam-jazz fusion in which his daughter now plays. Elza is a classically trained singer from Georgia.
Aziza's parents first noticed their daughter's sensitivity to music when she was eight months old. Aziza recalls the story as her mother tells it:
“Once, my father was improvising at the piano playing in the mugam mode known as 'Shur', which creates a mood that evokes very deep, sad emotions. As my father was playing, I started to cry. Everyone wondered what was happening to me. Why was I crying? And then mother realized the correlation between my feelings and the music. 'Vagif, please,' she told my father, 'change the scale. Go to Rast. Play Rast.' And he did. Now 'Rast' is characterized by its joyfulness and optimism. And sure enough, with tears still running down my cheeks, I started to make dance-like movements. And Mom pointed out, 'Look, look what she's doing! Change back to Shur!' And when he did, I started crying again louder than before. At least, that's what they tell me. Back to Rast, and I began dancing again.”
Aziza enjoyed all forms of art, especially dancing, painting and singing. At the age of three, she made her stage debut with her father, improvising vocals. She began studying classical piano at an early age, showing special interest in the works of famous composers Johann Sebastian Bach and Frédéric Chopin. Soon thereafter, she showed a growing talent for improvisation.
On December 16, 1979, Aziza's father died of a severe heart attack in Tashkent at the age of 39, three days away from Aziza's tenth birthday. (The chronology of important family dates here is very strange. Aziza's birthday is the 19th, her mother's is the 17th. Vagif died on the 16th and was buried on the 18th. Aziza says, "So all those dates - 16, 17, 18, and 19 - are such a mixture of joy and sadness for us and such a philosophical paradox - life and death juxtaposed upon each other like that.") In order to help her daughter cope with this blow, Aziza's mother gave up her career as a singer to help nurture her daughter's own musical talents.
In 1988, at the age of 18, Aziza's mugam-influenced style helped her win third place together with American Matt Cooper in the Thelonious Monk piano competition in Washington, D.C.. It was around this time that she moved to Germany with her mother.
Aziza released her debut album, Aziza Mustafa Zadeh, in 1991. Her second album, Always, won her the Phono Academy Prize, a prestigious German music award, and the Echo Prize from Sony. She has since performed in many countries with many jazz and traditional luminaries and released several more albums, the most recent being Contrasts II, released in 2007.
Aziza returned to Azerbaijan in June 2007 for the Baku Jazz Festival, starring in her own concert at the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater and headlining the end-of-festival concert at the open-air Green Theater. Here she presented a remarkable rendition of "Shamans", involving harmonising with her own echo.

Dave Brubeck is alive and well in the chords and voice stylistics of Aziza Mustafa Zadeh. She's truly an Azerbaijani treasure. A gift to the world.
Dave Brubeck would have been mortified.

Gente...
Eu adoro coisas que me tiram todo o ar. Aziza faz isso comigo. Simplesmente maravilhosa!❤
Волшебственно!
Won't you stop and take a little time out with me
Just take five
Stop your busy day and take the time out to see if I'm alive
Though I'm going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say
It's a pantomime and not a play
Still, I know our eyes often meet
I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile, that's much too discreet
Sends me on my way
Wouldn't it be better
Not to be so polite
You could offer a light
Start a little conversation now
It's alright, just take five
Just take five
Though I'm going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say
It's a pantomime and not a play
Still, I know our eyes often meet
I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile, that's much too discreet
Sends me on my way
Wouldn't it be better
Not to be so polite
You could offer a light
Start a little conversation now
It's alright, just take five
Just take five
Just take five
Just take five
Just take five
I am always admired by you

Al Jarreau?
Müthişsin Aziza....
شروع با آهنگ take five است که ۵/۴ و بسیار اجرای آن سخت است و این بانو با تبحر خاصی آنرا اجرا کردند
dahilərimizin Azərbaycanda yaşamamaqları məni kədərləndirir...
Azerbaycanda bazar toy mahnilari oxuyan not tanimayanlara yer var. Bu cur deyerli senetkarimizi az insanlar anlayar. Ingilterenin dunyanin jazzin kralichasidir. Fexr edirem Ezize xanimla. Evez olunmaz sevimlimiz.
OMG 😱
Еще один подарок мировому искусстве от Азербайджанской земли.
Quem tá aki pq o professor colocou isso no grupo do zap
:)
Bravo! Is she married?!
Yes,she has a son too
@@aydnmsc7107 good for her
Ohrenet'
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is a DEFINITE No. Dave Brubeck and his band created beautiful jazz, this is the distortion. The wheel has already been invented. Why destroying it
Хватит пукать.
Не твоего ума дело.Свое хай ское лицо не показывай.
