Azimuth (band)
Azimuth was a British jazz trio, active from 1977 through the early 2000s. Azimuth began as a duo composed of vocalist Norma Winstone and her husband, pianist John Taylor. In the mid-1970s, Taylor contacted several record companies with the goal of recording a duo album, but during his appointment with ECM Records founder Manfred Eicher, the latter suggested that they form a trio with trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, and Azimuth was born. The group's first release was a 1977 ECM album; two further albums quickly followed, with later albums coming in 1985 and 1995. Wheeler died in 2014, and Taylor died the following year.

Richard Williams of ''The Times'' described them as "one of the most imaginatively conceived and delicately balanced of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
