“What strikes the listener foremost about Igor Babich is the sheer beauty and gorgeous emotion that he plays with. You are transported to a world where the tone is soothing, the interpretations are unique, and *the phrasing is rich and lush. His rhythms are crisp and clear and portray the beauty of the piece as they *were intended with his own unique interpretations. Igor does play beautiful bossa. And ballads, and blues, *etc. It is not unfair to compare the beauty of his playing to a Johnny Hodges, Paul Desmond, or an Art *Pepper. Paul and Art I have heard in person so I believe it is fair to compare him to them. I heard him for *the first time last week, merely by accident as he was rehearsing in a nightclub. I stood outside the door as *I was awestruck by the sheer beauty of his sound. It lingers in your mind for a long time after. Don't take *my word for it. Come out and hear him for yourself. The beauty of his playing will linger for a long time in *your head also. He is truly a very humble and dedicated musician to his craft. His infectious music is bound *to make you happy.”
