Hello!

Welcome and Thank You for visiting my home page. I hope You will have fun surfing around and hopefully You will find out a thing or two about me. This is my first home page ever so all Your comments are welcome.

SLOVENSKO:Lep pozdrav vsem obiskovalcem moje spletne strani. Naj se najprej opravicim vsem ki ne znate anglesko, ker se nisem uspel naresti verzije v slovenskem jeziku. Obljubim da bo prevod prisel na vrsto takoj ko bom mnenja da je stran popolna v anglescini in ne bo treba vec popravljati glavnih stvari. Hvala za razumevanje! Vsi predlogi, pohvale, grajanja, in tudi nakup CD-jev je mozen preko elektronske poste.

Hvala in srecno!
Gasper

Now, let me tell you some latest news:

1. I am very excited and pleased to announce that my debut album as a leader has been successfully released on New York label Arabesque Recordings:

CAUTION! Hard Hat Area!

The CD has been officially released in Slovenia this November with a successful tour while official New York / U.S.A. release party is still in progress. I am still waiting to get some reviews and looking for a perfect venue. But check this out: CAUTION! Hard Hat Area! has been spinning on radio stations all over U.S. for more than 8 weeks now!!!
Please check out all the details in DISCOGRAPHY section.

2. Let me start the same: I am very excited and pleased to announce that my second album as a leader THE SWINGERS OF JAZZ is in final process and about to be done still in this year. It is going to be released by Slovenian label Goga.

It was recorded in Brooklyn in June 08 with “the young lions” of New York jazz scene:
Dan Blankinship on trumpet, Gabe Jodorkovsky on piano, Reid Taylor on bass, myself on drums, and a special guest Freddie Nelsen does vocals on two tracks.
You can hear some of the tracks on our new myspace site.

3. I am also a part of two just released albums by legendary Slovenian singer songwriter Zoran Predin & The Gypsy Swing Band. One was done for release in Slovenia in Slovenian language and the other in Croatian language for Croatian audience. I have been a part of this group for about ten years now and I PLAY ONLY SNARE DRUM AND BRUSHES in this group.
Please check out the details in DISCOGRAPHY section and on predin.com.

4. One day of the promotional tour for CAUTION! Hard Hat Area! album in Slovenia this past November was reserved for a record date with a great Slovenian saxophone player and composer Blaz Trcek. We recorded his compositions and it should be released on national radio and TV label RTV Slovenia. Featured musicians are the cream of Slovenian jazz scene:
Blaz Trcek on tenor and baritone saxophone, Erik Marence on piano, Nikola Matosic on bass and myself on drums. Details will follow.

5. I have to mention another project that has been going on this year. It is a collaboration of three musicians: Tonc Feinig on piano, Robert Jukic on bass and myself on drums. Tonc and Robert are great composers and their originals exclusively, are featured in this project. They are also great musicians and I am very happy to be in that trio. In the near future I will also try to contribute a song to the project.

As you can see the year 2008 has been a very good and productive year for me. I also turned thirty. I hope this whole decade will be as successful as this year.

Thank You for visiting and I hope to see You around again soon.
