Gerzina leaves absolutely no doubt that he is one artist who’ll be around making his mark for some time. Feeling and experiencing that smooth groove all the way in Croatia speaks volumes about the wonderful influence this genre really wields, despite what some naysayers might say. - Ronald jackson, The Smooth Jazz Ride (US)

 

Graduated from the Zagreb Academy of Music and former scholarship student at Berklee College of Music (where he studied under Jazz Messenger Bill Pierce and Woody Herman Big Band’s Frank Tiberi), Igor Gerzina is collecting admiration and respect wherever he goes: “Your music is spectacular!”, Robert Cunningham, The Newporter Jazz (US); “Great stuff... Your CD is terrific!”, Richard Rigg, Smoothjatzztampabay.com (US); “Just what we’re looking for in a contemporary sax.', John Marcus, Smooth Soul Radio (US); “Great album! Sure would love to play it!”, Eric Harry, Calm Radio (CAN); “Excellent work!”, Peter Boehi, Swiss Groove Webradio (CH); “Beautiful, love your sound!”, Sandy Shore, SmoothJazz.com Global Radio (US); “The album is absolutely great ... really stunning.”, Piotr Gackowski, Radio Smooth Jazz (PL); “Awesome project”, Dick Fairchild, City Sounds Radio (US). Credited in over 70 studio albums, Igor has also written music for Pop artists, film, radio and TV. Classical, pop, jazz, soul, funk… Igor has done it all in his fifteen years of music career, and has collaborated with most relevant musicians in his country such as jazz vibraphonist Bosko Petrovic, composer Miljenko Prohaska, guitarist Elvis Stanic and arranger Silvije Glojnaric. He has also worked with musicians outside of his homeland, such as Hubert Tubbs (Tower of Power), and he is just getting started.

 

“Metropolis” is an album of full textures and light. Third studio album for Igor, this could be considered his signature project from now on: the world is welcoming him to an international scene with open arms. The perfect tone of his tenor is unforgettable; the execution of every song, stunning. The brightest new star of the Smooth Jazz world comes with the best business card ever created: his talent.
