Aziz / "Morassi" clarification

Thanks to Plectrum24 for the following:

I just thought I'd let you know, "Morassi" is an instrumental track that Aziz recorded specifically for Total Guitar magazine and it has nothing to do with Morrissey as far as I know. The magazine defines "morassi" as: "an Asian word meaning musician/bum or layabout". The track is actually a very good track considering he used only his Strat and his Park practice amplifier. Anyway, "Morassi" was recorded just after the Roses (with Aziz as guitarist) disbanded. It was probably before Aziz started his playing with Andy and Mike as at the time Aziz was busy collaborating with Ian Brown and promoting Unfinished Monkey Business. Just in case you don't know, Aziz is yet another devoted fan of Johnny Marr.


Comments / Notes



Morassi is actually a Punjabi word (er..i guess that's what they meant by "Asian"?!). It's not pronounced the same as Morrissey either :)

anyway, theres a bit more on "aziz" at :
