Snug Harbor presents Amina Figarova Sextet

The elegant and graceful Amina Figarova is without doubt one of the most productive jazz composers and talented jazz pianist from Europe. Amina began playing piano as a child in Baku, Azerbaijan and has since traveled the world, studying as a classical concert pianist at the Baku Conservatory and the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Figarova’s crisp, light finger-dancing across the piano keys displays her dynamic range and technical skills. Backed by her talented Dutch sextet on this evening, Figarova’s style breathes new life into post-bebop jazz popularized in the 1960s.
