One of the finest musicians of our era, Blue Note recording artist Lionel Loueke says: "Marko is one of the greatest drummers out there. He possesses incredible technique, and a musical mind to match it! I love playing with him because he is so creative and unique!"

In a chapter dedicated to him in the recently published book, The New Face Of Jazz (author Cicily Janus, Billboard press/Random House, Inc.), it is said that "Marko's name is quickly becoming synonymous with greatness and diversity."

As the composer for SVETI, Djordjevic writes music inspired equally by his Balkan roots and the sounds of the American artists that have influenced him, from John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk to Ahmad Jamal and Tony Williams.

Called a “world-class drummer” and “a true innovator” by Modern Drummer magazine, Marko Djordjevic has played on about 50 albums and has thousands of live performances worldwide to his credit. Goakeeper Records recently released Something Beautiful, Marko's fourth album as leader. The release garnered praise from both peers and press:


"Marko is a superb drummer and composer. His new album is grooving and captivating throughout." - Ari Hoenig

"Djordjevic is young and plainly set to join the true greats. As with gents like Jon Christensen, Jack DeJohnette and Billy Cobham, an uninterrupted loop flows from mind and heart into hands then through the drums and back again." - Mark C. Tucker, Accoustic Exchange

"For creativity and approach this release gets five stars. Everything else is simply gravy on what is a true sleeper and stellar performance for 2013." - Criticaljazz.com

"Masterful drummer with Serbian roots." - Cadence Magazine
