Shahin Novrasli is a distinguished Azerbaijani jazz pianist and composer, who has carved out a reputation as a musician who blends intricate Eastern musical traditions with classic American jazz influences. Novrasli’s upbringing in Baku—an essential cultural nexus where Europe meets Asia—has indelibly shaped his unique sound, which is enriched with elements of mugham, a traditional folk music form from Azerbaijan, and classical influences that trace back to the likes of Chopin and Rachmaninoff.

With a career that has spanned over two decades, Shahin's discography showcases his versatility and virtuosity. His album "BAYATI" is a testament to his ability to explore the deep roots of Azerbaijani music within a jazz framework. “Quarantine” speaks to more contemporary reflections and the shared global experience of recent years. "Live in Marciac (2019)" captures the energy of his improvisations in the esteemed French jazz festival setting. "From Baku to New York City" charts his intercontinental musical journey, evidencing his successful efforts to bring the rich musical heritage of his homeland to a global audience. Other albums like "Memories" and "Emanation" further exhibit his prowess in melding storytelling with his compositions. His live recordings from performances in Prague and Moscow display Shahin's dynamic presence on stage and his engagement with audiences through the language of jazz. Whether interpreting a tender ballad like "She's Out Of My Life" or diving into complex original compositions, Shahin Novrasli consistently demonstrates the depth and breadth of his artistry.
