Who said anything about dinner parties?, November 25, 2009
This review is from: Seventh Truth (Audio CD)
While Jazziza sounds awkwardly misplaced (I mean, what Azerbaijan immigre to Germnay has to do with American soul jazz?), in this record she sound firmly at home. Here she succeeds in the difficult task to bring together diverse influences and traditions (jazz, azerbaijani traditional music, classic music).
Ay Dillber starts with jazzified mugam that morphs into western-style choral singing. In Fly with me she begins with smooth jazz sung in English, only to end with westernized mugam in Azeri.
That free play with styles, influences, traditions and languages is something that makes this record exciting and is prove of the high mastery of this musician.
Obvioulsy, this is not background music for dinner parties.

Aziza is stunning!, November 20, 2007
This review is from: Seventh Truth (Audio CD)
Obviously not the previous reviewer's cup of chai, and I will admit this is not my favourite album from this fabulous jazz-mugam composer/pianist/vocalist, but it is a superb album nonetheless.

AZIZA' S SEVENTH TRUTH, December 6, 2001
This review is from: Seventh Truth (Audio CD)
WOW!
THIS WAS THE FIRST ALBUM I BOUGHT BY AZIZA.
IF YOU CAN PLAY PIANO LIKE THAT, SING LIKE THAT, WRITE LIKE THAT AND LET'S FACE IT; LOOK LIKE THAT,
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG.
THE TRACK DAHA (ALWAYS) IS HER BEST EVER, VOCALLY! BUY IT!
