: Krunoslav "Kruno" Spisic began his musical training at the age of 10. His first instrument was of Eastern European descent called the Tambura, a four tone mandolin from Croatia. Growing up in a Croatian household, he was exposed to many forms of Tambura music from the Balkans and its Gypsies. In his teens, Kruno took up the guitar and studied rock and blues throughout his high school years, honing his technical prowess and improvisational abilities. 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. After graduation, Kruno started playing the Toronto jazz circuit where he gained an extensive repertoire and a more mature understanding of the gypsy jazz idiom. 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.
