The inspiration for the musical project Tomi Purich BALKANJAZZ grew out of the twinning between Piran and Ohrid. From this unique bridge of friendship, the project "PiranOhrid" was born, which brings the audience a magical mixture of North, South, East and West – an interweaving of sounds, emotions and cultures. Since 2017, the band has worked as an instrumental trio and in the following years released two albums of original music and selected covers. The overwhelming response from the audience and the professional public confirmed that this is one of the most promising musical projects in the region.
Their unique recognizable style combines Balkan ethnic tradition, jazz improvisation and energetic unpaired rhythms into a unique, contemporary musical expressiveness. With their music, they will take you on an emotional and energetic musical journey, imbued with the flavors of different musical cultures.

Navdih za glasbeni projekt Tomi Purich BALKANJAZZ je zrasel iz pobratenja med Piranom in Ohridom. Iz tega edinstvenega mostu prijateljstva se je rodil projekt »PiranOhrid«, ki občinstvu prinaša čarobno mešanico severa, juga, vzhoda in zahoda – preplet zvokov, čustev in kultur. Zasedba je od leta 2017 delovala kot instrumentalni trio ter v naslednjih letih izdala dva albuma avtorske glasbe in izbranih priredb. Izjemen odziv občinstva in strokovne javnosti je potrdil, da gre za enega najbolj obetavnih glasbenih projektov v regiji.
Njihov unikatni prepoznavni slog združuje balkansko etno izročilo, jazzovsko improvizacijo in energične neparne ritme v edinstveno, sodobno glasbeno izraznost. S svojo glasbo vas bodo popeljali na čustveno in energično glasbeno popotovanje, prežeto z okusi različnih glasbenih kultur.
