Azimuth (band)

Azimuth was a British jazz trio, active from 1977 through the early 2000s.

[1] Azimuth began as a duo composed of vocalist Norma Winstone and her husband, pianist John Taylor.

[2] Critic John Fordham wrote that the group conjured "a unique chemistry of low-key free improvisation, sometimes wordless vocals, jazz and classical music, and Taylor compositions that often sounded becalmed yet simmering with urgent implications.

"[2] Richard Williams of The Times described them as "one of the most imaginatively conceived and delicately balanced of all contemporary chamber jazz groups.

"[7] (above three titles reissued as a 3 CD-set in 1994) Drake's song "IDGAF" from his 2023 album For All The Dogs samples Azimuth's song The Tunnel from their 1977 debut album Azimuth.
