Kruno Spisic - Gypsy Jazz Guitar June 9, 2007

Krunoslav "Kruno" Spisic began his musical training at the age of 10. His first instrument was of Eastern European decent called the Tambura, a four tone mandolin from modern day Croatia. It was not until studying music at University that Kruno was introduced to Django-style guitar and began a passionate study of the Gypsy Jazz genre. In January of 2002, Kruno moved to the US and formed the Kruno Spisic Gypsy Jazz Trio. He creates a new branch of gypsy jazz by fusing Eastern European folk traditions with Django swing. This new merging of sounds enthralled audiences with its sweet Balkan melodies and hot Gypsy swing. Kruno has performed at folk festivals and jazz clubs all over the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan, bringing his unique blend of swing and folk themesto exhilarated audiences.
