Renowned Azerbaijani pianist, composer and singer Aziza Mustafa Zadeh, known as the Princess of Jazz, will perform at Istanbul’s Cemal Reşit Rey (CRR) Concert Hall on June 9.

Zadeh, who has been the center of worldwide attention with her fusion and jazz pieces, will present an evening on her piano, enchanting listeners with her powerful voice.

Ralf Cetto on bass and Simon Zimbardo on drums will accompany the Azerbaijani artist during the concert. The artist will also interpret famous Turkish folk poet Aşık Veysel’s piece “Uzun İnce Bir Yoldayım” (The Day and Night).
