Azerbaijani pianist Shahin Novrasli will give a solo concert at the Duc Des Lombards club in Paris, France, Azertac reported.

Novrasli will perform works by Azerbaijani and European jazzmen at the concert.

A gala concert will be attended by French public figures, cultural figures, members of diaspora organizations, as well as Azerbaijani students.

Pianist and composer Shahin Novrasli performed at some of the biggest stages in the world, such as London’s Royal Festival Hall, the Montreux Jazz Festival, the Black Sea Jazz Festival, Prague’s Mezinarodni Piano Festival and numerous clubs and festivals throughout the United States.

Shahin’s rare talent emerged from Azerbaijan’s various compositional influences as well as its unusual and rich musical heritage. At only eleven years old, he performed with the local Symphony Orchestra at the Azerbaijan State Philharmonic Hall.

Elegantly blending his classical knowledge, Azerbaijan’s traditional folk “Mugham” and his jazz influences, Shahin created his own unique and accomplished musical universe, among which he combines eastern and western cultures.

A gentle wave of exotic melodies, powerful and sharp harmonies, capricious eastern rhythms struck by an American Jazz lightning, majestic and vigorous.
