Chingiz Sadykhov (Azerbaijani: Çingiz Sadıxov), also spelled Sadikhov or Sadighov (5 April 1929, in Baku – 30 December 2017, in California),[1] was a Soviet and Azerbaijani musician and pianist.
He graduated from Bul-Bul Musical School in Baku and Azerbaijani State Conservatory.
Mr. Sadykhov further studied for PhD degree in Moscow Conservatory under professor Goldenveyser.
He has spent much of his life accompanying Azerbaijan's most prominent singers, including Bulbul, the founder of Azerbaijan's professional vocal school; Rashid Behbudov, the singer who most often represented Azerbaijan throughout the world during the Soviet period; and Muslim Magomayev, one of the former Soviet Union's best-known pop stars.
When asked how many songs are in his repertoire, Chingiz readily admitted that there were so many that he wouldn't know where to start counting.
