Chingiz Sadykhov (Azerbaijani: Çingiz Sadıxov), also spelled Sadikhov or Sadighov (born 5 April 1929, Baku), is a pianist from Azerbaijan.
He graduated from the Bul-Bul Musical School in Baku and Azerbaijani State Conservatory. Mr. Sadykhov further studied for his Ph.D. degree in Moscow Conservatory under professor Goldenveyser. He then returned to Baku where he lived until 1994 before immigration to the US. He currently resides in San Francisco, California.
Initially Chingiz Sadykhov played classical music but later switched to the Azerbaijani classical music. 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 (1942-2009), one of the former Soviet Union's best-known pop stars. When asked how many songs are in his repertoire, Chingiz readily admits that there are so many that he wouldn't know where to start counting.
