Whether the best is found in the words of classic composition, cutting-edge jazz or original work, Zonjic perpetually transports enchanted listeners to that amazing scene through his playing.

Immediately recognized by the artistry and brilliance of his sound, Zonjic creates music that is remembered for its originality, vital energy and sheer beauty. Whether he is performing a Mozart concerto or constructing soulful jazz blues rhapsody, the sound resonates with Zonjic's own unique music.

Zonjic has performed on stages around the world as a solo performer, with his own group, and as part of jazz great Bob James' band. Audiences in Japan, England, Philippines, Mexico and Dominican Republic have enjoyed his incomparable sound. He has also performed at major classical and jazz festivals throughout North America, including critically acclaimed appearances at Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl and New York's Apollo Theatre.

Zonjic and his band will be taking the stage on Nov. 9, courtesy of McMaster University, and will be featuring saxophonist Warren Hill, who shines as one of smooth jazz's most popular and exciting stars.

Hill is renown among jazz enthusiasts for his unique and innovative arrangements as well as his mastery of traditional jazz technique. Hill's extensive career has involved touring with Natalie Cole, performing on the soundtrack to the movie Body of Evidence starring Madonna, and visiting shows such as the Tonight Show and Arsenio Hall. Several of his CD's have been ranked #1 the Billboard top 10 for contemporary jazz, making him a staple in the international smooth jazz scene.

Zonjic and Hill, in their extremely successful performance careers, have together released 18 CD's and on Nov. 9, they will be performing some of their greatest achievements from this vast and varied collection. Together they will share their life's work; music responsible for a revolution that is changing the face of smooth jazz forever.
