Davor Krizic - Insite (2022)

In his long and rich career, the respected trumpeter Davor Križić achieved numerous successful collaborations as a soloist of the HRT Jazz Orchestra, a member of the groups Cubismo and The Bastardz, and is the winner of prestigious music awards, including the Porin, the Status award and the HDS Miroslav Sedak Benčić award for 2020. , and now, in cooperation with the HRT Jazz Orchestra, he presents his long-awaited new independent album, the album "Insite".
"After the concert held in 2019, on the occasion of 30 years of my playing in the HRT Jazz Orchestra, the idea arose to make my original album. On this album, I combined my work that was developed in small ensembles with great arrangers and musicians of the Jazz Orchestra, and with it I tried to tell my intimate musical story," said Davor Križić about the collaboration.

Davor does not hide how special work on this project is for him:
"I have been a member of the Jazz Orchestra since 1989, and from then until now I have played with countless quality musicians and conductors. However, this project is special for me because the collaboration with today's Jazz Orchestra lineup, their engagement and performance brought a great sound and top performance of my compositions. Jazz made in Zagreb!", Davor said about the collaboration and continued:
"I am extremely glad that my dear friends and collaborators Saša Nestorović on saxophone, Kruno Levačić on drums, Matija Dedić on piano, Ivar Roban Križić on double bass, Šimun Matišić on vibraphone and Vedaši vocalists joined this project. The excellent arrangements were written by Silvije Glojnarić, Joe Kaplowitz and Luka Žužić. The team from HRT did a great job, I especially thank Ivana Kocelj, head of RJ-glazba, and Boris Horvat from Aquarius records for recognizing and supporting this project. I am proud to present this album."
This superb jazz album captivates at the first listen, and as noted journalist Saša Drach says, "it was conceived as a journey through dreams." and points out that: "Davor transforms that universal life impulse, given to him personally, which he finds equally in his peace and restlessness, into musical stories that we can understand. Regardless of how unclear their origin is to us, Davor's interpretation presents them with crystal clear emotions." Step into the new musical story of Davor Križić and the HRT Jazz Orchestra.
