Soloists Ladislav Fidri, flugelhorn and Saša Nestorović, saxophones | Croatian Radio and Television Big Band and the Croatian Radio and Television String Orchestra | Silvije Glojnarić, conductor
Ladislav Fidri, a composer, a trumpeter, a flugelhornist, an arranger, and a conductor, has been a prominent representative of the Croatian jazz scene for 50 years. Having played with the Croatian Radio and Television Big Band, the former Zagreb Radio Dance Orchestra, as a soloist and band member in the period between 1962 and 2005…
The album Memories confirms an absolute maturity of the artist in each segment of his interpretation. Fidri finds his most competent and meritorious answers promoting the music of highest standards and criteria. Jazz music is going to raise him to the top of the national jazz creativity. Finally, saxophonist Saša Nestorović presents quite a new dimension and fine delight of Fidri's composing, also lending his distinctive playing to the music of other composers. A contribution to this friendly and musically inspired atmosphere was also made by conductor Silvije Glojnarić and the two ensembles of the Croatian Radio and Television - the Big Band and the Symphony Orchestra String Section.
