Release and reception[edit]
Aziza Mustafa Zadeh was released by Columbia Records[2] in November 1991.[3] The AllMusic reviewer wrote: "the virtuosic pianist clearly has the potential to be a major force in jazz. At this early stage, Aziza already had something of her own to offer".[1]
Jazz: The Rough Guide described it as a "beautiful unaccompanied album", and added that "Anyone who feared that the world-music movement would necessarily bypass keyboard instruments must think again".[2]
