The icons of Mugham jazz, which originated in Azerbaijan, have already made their mark on the international scene. This year of 2014 brings recognition to two outstanding pianists and composers: Shahin Novrasli, whose album “Bayati” (2014 Couleurs Jazz HIT) received an enthusiastic welcome and rave reviews worldwide, and Isfar Sarabski, young prodigy on the rise.
