Guitarist composer Alex Scheuerer and vocalist Najwa Ezzaher, are making their debut in Azerbaijan alongside their 5-piece band, ready to dazzle audiences at the Baku International Jazz Festival!

"I am thrilled to take the stage at the legendary Baku Jazz Festival, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and to share the magic of “La Vie en Soul” with the vibrant music lovers of Baku. Sharing the stage with Najwa Ezzaher and a lineup of world-class musicians, we promise to ignite the night on the 25th at Jolly Joker Baku with a fusion of jazz, neo-soul, and timeless French classics reimagined.

But that’s not all-exclusively for Baku, we’re elevating the experience with a string section from the Azerbaijan State Academic Orchestra, unveiling brand-new songs inspired by Middle Eastern melodies. As we like to say, “This show speaks to the hearts of our mixed origins,” blending the romance of Paris with the soul of Beirut."

Join us Saturday, 25 October, for a jazz journey through the poetic streets of two worlds-a night of groove, improvisation, and musical fireworks. Let’s make memories together at the Baku Jazz Festival-where every note tells a story, and every beat bridges cultures
