I went to Azerbaijan a couple of months a go, i expected to hear some Arabic/Turkic/Middle Eastern musical vibes but what i didnt expect was it to be so Jazz influenced. I was totally naive, when you read about the former USSR and musical prohibitions.. I was there as Team Mechanic for an International cycling race called 'Dear Susa' - my brief research of the country was centred more around the disputed territory and conflict zone we would be travelling through. Anyhow i'm not a Jazz connosseur but i was drawn into the compositions of pianist Vagif Mustafazadeh, one of his pieces is played on the national Airline whilst boarding etc and is held in highest regard/cultural significance.
