Puerto Rican saxophone virtuoso Ivan Renta will record a long-awaited new solo project for Circle 9 Records this year.

Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico and raised in Coamo, Ivan Renta has become one of the premiere saxophonists in Jazz and Latin Jazz. His ability to adapt to any musical situation has landed him on the stages of many of the world’s most prestigious venues and music festivals.

In February of 2014, Mr. Renta’s lifetime body of work was recognized by the Puerto Rico House of Representatives. Ivan Renta also had the distinct privilege of performing on Tito Puente’s final album, a joint effort with 10 Grammy Winner Eddie Palmieri, “Masterpiece”, that would go on to win multiple Grammy® Awards.
