Biography
Zdenko Ivanusic, saxophonist and composer,
Zagreb
,
Croatia
. He graduated in saxophone performance at the Zagreb Academy of
Music.
He has been a dynamic member of the Croatian music scene since
1990. Through his experience in so-called classical music,
jazz,fusion and funk he attains a unique approach in most musical
settings, from a symphonic orchestra, chamber ensembles to a big
band, a
saxophone quartet or a small band.
He leads Donna Lee Saxophone
Quartet and his own small bands, which are, besides jazz
standards, focused on promoting his compositions and original
arrangements. He has been arranging the repertoire of genuine
modernists of jazz, such as G. Gershwin, C. Mingus, W. Shorter, B.
Watson, S. Coleman and J. Zawinul. His tastes go even further, to
Cuban nuance and humor. In compositions,
polyrhythmic and polytonality is frequently employed, as well as
emotional intensity and improvisational clarity.
As the principal alto
chair in Croatian Army Symphonic Wind Orchestra he had a chance to
work with many distinguished conductors such as Uros Lajovic,
Vjekoslav Sutej, Pavle Despalj, Tim Reynish…. He has been
playing with the Zagreb Philharmonic, Croatian Radiotelevision
Symphonic Orchestra, Croatian National Theatre in
Zagreb
and Zagreb City Theatre "Komedija". He was soloist and
lead alto with HGM Jazz Orchestra Zagreb, under the leadership of
Austrian band leader Sigi
Feigl since it was founded in 2002 to 2006. He also collaborates
with well-known Croatian musicians such as Zvonimir Bucevic - Buc
(The Bucers), Dudo Vorih, Ladislav Fidri (Super Session All Stars
Big Band), Miro Kadoic (Mirokado) and popular bands: Brain
Holidays (reggae), Flyer (pop), Soul Train (p-funk). He has shared
the stage with many distinguished musicians such as Randy Brecker,
Bob Mintzer, Don Menza, Bobby Shew, John Riley, Earl Gardner,
Peter Herbolzheimer, Kevin Mahogany, Barbara Denerlein, to name a
few.
He has released two albums
for Zivaldo Records: Four Odd (Donna Lee Saxophone Quartet) and
solo album Lost in HTML.
