by Mike Jurkovic
Czech pianist/composer Kristina Barta's Endless Questions and Answers opens on a rather ominous tone. Drummer Marek Urbánek plays on his toms a shadowy, esoteric rhythm. Tenor Jure Pukl flares in. Barta enters slowly, barely audible with bassist Peter Korman riding shotgun. But soon she controls the barely controllable rush that embodies “Breaking Through Some Border," the breakthrough opener to a fine, fine recording. Barta--a graduate from the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and a finalist in the ...

by Maurice Hogue
A pair of excellent quartet releases jump off the page in this edition of One Man's Jazz. Bassist Kenneth Jimenez, with Angelica Sanchez, Hery Paz and Gerald Cleaver, and saxophonist Jure Pukl with Joe Sanders, Peter Evans and Nasheet Waits, create some wonderful contemporary improvisation on their latest projects. NoBusiness Records has a winner in Visitation Of Spirits, a yet-to-be released live set by Roy Campbell's Pyramid Trio with William Parker and Zen Masuura.

by Friedrich Kunzmann
Slovenian tenor saxophonist Jure Pukl follows up his quartet outings Hybrid (Whirlwind Recordings 2017) and Doubtless (Whirlwind Recordings 2018) with an album that signals a clear change of direction. On Broken Circles Pukl swaps his saxophonist wife Melissa Aldana for Joel Ross on vibraphone and adds guitarist Charles Altura for some lyrical comping, on top of a well-versed rhythm section. As a direct result, harmony and flow arise more implicitly, giving Pukl the ideal environment to perform long stretches of ...

by Roger Farbey
Melissa Aldana guested on two tracks featured on Jure Pukl's previous album Hybrid (Whirlwind, 2017), so it's no surprise that she's been recruited again for Pukl's follow-up recording. However, taking a slightly different tack, the saxophonist has dispensed with a piano or any chordal instrument for this set. But having two front line tenor saxophones isn't a new thing in modern jazz. For example, Al Cohn and Zoot Sims did this on their 1960 album You 'N' Me (Mercury), albeit ...

by Jerry D'Souza
Saxophonist and composer Juri Pukl is a man of many parts. He has ensconced himself in jazz, but he is also involved with pop, rock and hip hop. His compositions are strongly ingrained in the written note but he views a distant horizon as he and his band mates set out on the road to improvisation. All of this serves him well on EARchitecture.Pukl balances muscularity with gentleness on this well selected passel of tunes. As an improviser ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Il giovane sassofonista sloveno Jure Pukl presenta in questa registrazione alcuni brani dal vivo alla testa di varie formazioni. Si tratta di tre improvvisazioni in trio con il batterista Howard Curtis e il percussionista Günther Meinhart, intervallate da due brani in quartetto con tromba senza pianoforte e dalla lunga “Fly!," in un quartetto classico con pianoforte. Le situazioni sono tutto sommato abbastanza diverse, ma accomunate da una cifra di jazz moderno molto libero ma espressivamente ben identificabile: non è un ...
