Jasa Tomic (1902-1941) was specially active in diverse music fields during the last decade before the second World war. Officially working as a piano tuner in Belgrade, he also gave guitar lessons. Together with his former guitar pupil Stevan Frajt, Tomic published around 1935 his Guitar Method, and soon after the Album of Yugoslav Folk Songs for Guitar. Like most of the other guitarists in those days, Tomic was very much inspired by our folk themes, and the enclosed pieces in his album are actually his arrangements and harmonizations of traditional dances and vocal songs.
