Experience Elchin Shirinov live on July 26th

Elchin Shirinov, a pianist and composer originally from Baku, Azerbaijan, will be performing at PizzaExpress Jazz Club in Soho, London on July 26th, 2026. Shirinov’s musical style blends jazz improvisation with the rich melodic and rhythmic traditions of Azerbaijani mugham, often incorporating elements of classical music and contemporary sounds. He is known for his virtuosic piano playing and compositions that explore cross-cultural musical dialogues. He has released several albums to critical acclaim and frequently tours internationally.

PizzaExpress Jazz Club, located in the heart of London’s Soho district, has been a prominent venue for jazz and contemporary music since 1976. Originally founded by the late musician and restaurateur Peter Boorman, it quickly became a cornerstone of the UK jazz scene. The club has hosted numerous internationally renowned artists throughout its history including Ronnie Scott, Ella Fitzgerald, and Wynton Marsalis. Its intimate setting – a basement space with a capacity of approximately 85 – contributes to its reputation for close-up performances and a strong connection between artists and audience. The venue continues to support both established names and emerging talent within the jazz world and beyond.
