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.
