On October 20 famous British jazz-funk combo Shakatak performed in Baku.
The concert was arranged as part of the Baku International Jazz Festival.

Shakatak was founded in 1980 in London. Originally comprising keyboardists Bill Sharpe and Nigel Wright, guitarist Keith Winter, bassist Steve Underwood and drummer Roger Odell, the group quickly scored an underground hit with its debut single "Steppin`," cracking the British Top 50 the following year with the singles "Livin` in the UK" and "Brazilian Dawn".

Having already garnered massive commercial achievements in the UK, SHAKATAK went on to score unprecedented successes both in Japan (for which demand dictates they produce exclusive albums every year), and in the USA.

The band's concert in Moscow, Russia, in 1997 enjoyed a level of success and led to performances in Estonia, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
