About Me

Currently working partly as a guitar teacher at the school of music in Piran, Slovenia, partly as a professional musician, born in 1983, I started to play guitar at the age of 9 and went to the same school of classical music in Piran (teacher Barbara Markoli). In 2000 I formed Crimson, a rock band, playing 70s hard rock. At about that time I became interested in jazz and visited some jazz workshops in 2001 and 2002 (two led by Bostjan Andrejc - Bushy and two by Renato Chicco). In 2004 I formed Strawberry Jam, a jazz/funk/fusion band. In 2005 an 2006 I visited two Jazzinty workshops in Novo mesto, Slovenia and one jazz workshop in Gorizia, Italy. My mentors at these workshops were Ratko Zjaca, John Abercrombie and Riccardo Chiarion. At Jazzinty 2005 I took a lesson also from Vlatko Stefanovski. In 2006/2007, I was visiting lessons of Glauco Venier and Marcello Tonolo at the Conservatory of music Giuseppe Tartini, Trieste, Italy - jazz department.The bands I currently work with are: Toxine, GaÅ¡per Piano & Samo Turk, JazzLessNess, The Muffin Men, Fabbro/Turk Guitar Sax Duo, B-Boyz Orchestra and 3 Big Band Orchestra. Some of my past projects, which here and there still come to life are Strawberry Jam, M&M&M's Trio and Jazz Quartin.My most recent CDs are Strawberry Jam "Some Things Never Change", recorded at KaÅ¡ev letni vrt 2007, Toxine "Deny Denial" EP, recorded at StEven Festival 2008, GaÅ¡per Piano & Samo Turk's debut album "Live at JEFF 2007", recorded at JEFF Festival (July 2007) in Koper, Slovenia (all of them available mostly on our concerts, so check 'em out right here!).My influences include a lot of different bands and musical styles, so I think this diversity can be heard in my music, too.For concerts or studio sessions you can contact me at MySpace or [email protected]
