Anatolian Delights E10 is back with another special show on Skylab Radio with the selections of the absolute unique genre; "Mugham Jazz" from ancestral land Azerbaijan. 
From exotica to jazz-mugham, pianist and composer Vagif Mustafazadeh (1940-1979) (father of Aziza Mustafa Zadeh ) was the central figure of Azerbaijani jazz - the man who laid-down the basis of the jazz-mugham, and its traditions in the 1960s.
By merging two musical genres - Western jazz and Eastern mugham, a type of traditional improvisational modal music - he created "mugham jazz", a new sound that was uniquely Azerbaijani. Familiar Eastern melodies found new expression in Mustafazade's free-spirited piano stylistics.    
It is a unique synthesis of mugham melody and shape with the sharp rhythms, harmonies of jazz that has eastern lyricism and poetical qualities. This combination of jazz with mugham is one of the most organic connections of East and West.
I hope you enjoy this strong sound that is also recognised by UNESCO as "Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity”.
