What you have before you is Four Faces of Jazz compact disc by conductor, composer, arranger and drummer Silvije Glojnarić, which constitutes a remarkable segment of global jazz heritage.
Rare are musicians such as Silvije who choose against instant fame, and instead spend their professional life beyond the safety zone of predictable music genres as creative musicians, composers, arrangers and bandmasters. It is this kind of dedication, not only to jazz music, but to music in general, that led to Maestro Silvije Glojnarić receiving the Porin Lifetime Achievement Award. This award is given to artists who have indebted Croatian music with their knowledge and effort.
The compositions from this CD represent just a small segment of his creativity, demonstrating that jazz, like any other music genre, does not live only off the latest trends and momentary flashes, but off continuity and tradition as its main traits, just as any other art.
