Aziza Mustafa Zadeh
This is the full collection of Aziza Mustafa Zadeh's discography, nine albums in all from her debut album in 1991 until her latest release in early 2007.
Aziza Mustafa Zadeh is an Azerbaijani pianist, composer and singer, who plays a fusion of jazz, mugam (a traditional improvisational style of Azerbaijan) and Russian folk music with classical and avant-garde influences. Some reviewers claim that her style shows some influences from Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett to a certain extent. Aziza often in her live performances and recordings is supported by jazz artists with great status like Stanley Clarke, Al DiMeola, Omar Hakim or Bill Evans but still, as stunned reviewers wrote, Aziza's graceful and fluid playing eclipses her super-star backup musicians.

Length 57:01
Label Columbia
Seventh Truth is the fourth album released by Azeri jazz artist Aziza Mustafa Zadeh. It caused a good deal of controversy when it was released in 1996 because of the visually revealing cover art. Aziza was delighted to hear that the art had caused such a stir. It means people are starting to wake up a bit. I'm so glad. Actually, I find it amusing! Why all the fuss? Maybe some women are jealous, or maybe they're too fat to appear like that themselves. Or maybe they're deaf and can't really comprehend what's going on in the music. She said that she made the cover that way because it fits the sensual mood of the music.
