  • Description

    'Two Hours After Midnight' by singer Louise Dodds and pianist Elchin Shirinov is a moving collection of eight traditional Scottish folk songs rearranged by Elchin Shirinov and drawing influence from greats such as Keith Jarrett and Brad Mehldau, classical composers such as Ravel and Debussy, and the traditional folk music of his homeland Azerbaijan. Each song has its own story, which the duo has reimagined in their own unique way, covering topics such as love, heartbreak, and friendship - with tradition with emotions nestled underneath.



    Nominated for Best Vocalist at the Scottish Jazz Awards in 2022, vocalist and songwriter Louise Dodds released her self-penned album The Story Needs an Ending in 2022, subsequently touring the album around the UK. The album was selected as one of three notable jazz releases of 2022 by The Scotsman. Prior to this, 2020 saw Louise having the honour of opening for Norma Winstone MBE.



    Elchin Shirinov is a jazz pianist, composer, and arranger, originally from Azerbaijan. Most recently he was included in All About Jazz's December 2022 poll of the Top 200 favourite living pianists in the world. From 2018 to 2022 he was a member of the famous jazz double bassist Avishai Cohen's trio, during which time he recorded three albums and toured internationally as a member of the trio.
