Her appearance in the American JazzWeek Top 10 is proof of how widely recognized Amina Figarova is on the international music scene.. The Azerbaijani was trained as a concert pianist, only to be swept up into jazz at the Rotterdam conservatory. From then on she gained experience as a band leader. . ‘Her compositions have a clarity and elegance of craft and light touch that is her own… Figarova’s gifts as a composer have perhaps drawn attention from the fact that she is an exceptional pianist with a jazz spirit of openness and a classical sense of form’ (Jazz Times).
