Description:

Shahin Novrasli, a pianist of melancholy and superb technique, at the crossroads of East and West. This long-awaited analog version of a fantastic piece, which had been difficult to obtain due to the termination of the French Bee Jazz label, is now available! Born in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. A classical piano prodigy who performed with an orchestra at the age of 11, Novrasli began playing jazz around the age of 16 and has continued to attract attention around the world. Jazz piano master Ahmad Jamal said, "He is one of the finest pianists I have ever heard. Like Avishai Cohen of Israel and Tigran Hamasyan of Armenia, his high level of skill and sensitivity, nurtured in a land where Eastern and Western cultures merge, is truly an alchemy of cultures spilling from his fingertips. Jazz, classical music, and mugham (traditional Azerbaijani folk music) intertwine in this music of fusion and transcendence. (C)RS
