Leonid Chizhik, also known as Leonid Arkadievich Chishik,[1] was born on January 1, 1947, in Chişinău, Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic.[1] He is a jazz pianist and university lecturer at the universities of Weimar and Munich. Since 1991, Leonid Chizhik and his family have been living in Munich, Germany.
Chizhik comes from a Jewish family. He studied at the state school of music in Kharkov in 1954. At the age of 15, he started appearing in bands. He studied at the Gnessin Institute, Moscow, then studied composition, musicology, and piano at Theodor Gutman, graduating as a concert pianist. He played in the trio with Georgy Garanjan's Melodija Ensemble in Moscow at café Molodjoschnoje (Youth). His main occupation, however, was in the state Varietéorchester. After playing for the first time as a classical soloist, he played jazz in public in 1974. He played on the debut album from Melodija. Afterwards he started his own trio, and he gained "popularity [as] a grandmaster of the concert jazz piano".[2][full citation needed]
