Bass


Janez is most at home in progressive jazz-rock though he does not limit himself in terms of genre. He is prolific both as a bassist and author, most notably with the internationally acclaimed progressive fusion band Moonlight Sky, which is a force in its own right. He was also the "gunn for hire" session bassist, recording for the cream of Slovenian musicians.

Violin


Holding a BA and MA in violin, Ana is employed by Slovenia's best symphony, RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra. She  has ample experience in popular music, ranging from folk (the notorious Brencl Banda) as far as metal (she played on Noctiferia's Transnatura album). 

Her presence adds a more profound and sensitive complexity, at times straddling the divide between folk and classical music. She is very busy as a composer of modern classical music within the framework of her project - Nakana, so we hope you get to see her at our next gig.

Band bio

In 2017, having played the Slovenian  circuit for two years, the band put out 'Tja in spet nazaj' - 'There and  Back Again', a conceptual album dealing with the issues of what is  home, a wreath of impressions derived from personal experience of life  in migration. With the album's positive reception the  band's public presence needed to be developed, at which point Matjaž opted to  focus on classical composing and relegated his place in the spotlight.

In the winter of 2017, Janez Moder became the band's full time bassist. He is the original and  current member of one of Slovenia's most progressive bands Moonlight  Sky as well as an extremely active session and live musician who's  played with Gal in Galeristi, Aritmija, Didiwa, Alkimia and has  collaborated with the likes of Severa Gjurin, Goran Bojčevski, Marko  Hatlak, to name but a few.
 

The band took to  Slovenian stages, media outposts, and radio studios to present the  album nationwide, accumulating interest with the public. The hit song 'Never be the same'  (Nič ne bo kot je bilo) gained traction on radio stations (Val 202, Slovenia SI, Radio BOB...).
 

In  November of 2018 the band was officially joined by academic violinist  Ana Mezgec, who had previously appeared as a guest violinist, blowing the  audience away with her energetic and perfected playing style along with a  confident yet understated stage presence.
 

With two new  last names added to the roster of band members, the old name "Jarc Gregorin Trio"  no longer fit the four-piece. The band decided to slowly phase in a new designation: "JG3O". At first, the two names would be used side by side making JG3O the largest trio around;  the name is set to change with the release of the  bands second full album (working title: Circular Square).

There and Back Again

Home on the way, jarc gregorin trio

What is Home?

The concept Album "There and Back Again" - "Tja in spet nazaj" explores the concept of 'home'. It was written as a reflection of the authors' residency between the UK and Slovenia, friendship stretching to the US, and family. 

Genre is a Medium

The album makes  use of different genres to better communicate the emotion and subtext of the messages of individual songs. Its eclectic selection of original songs that truly defy labeling. In a way this is unfortunate because it is sometimes considered impractical in this day and age to transgress the limitations of genre; it makes it harder for the audience to find your music, but it makes for an interesting album and a colourful night out  

Language is a Medium

 The album is largely bilingual, because the author spent time between the UK and his Slovenian home – and the choice of language was used to underscore the concept. Most of the songs exist in either language – in fact only two do not. The tour focuses on the English lyrics, but allows the audience a taste of the unique language that is Slovenian.
