Melt

Saxophonist and composer Jure Pukl is an artist without borders; the musical journey that started with a garage rock band in his native Slovenia has taken him across continents, to classical studies in Vienna and Den Haag, to Berklee College of Music in Boston and the forefront of the jazz scene in New York CityNow Pukl is back to Europe at the helm of a group of some of the most forward-looking and exciting players working out of the NYC cutting edge.'Melt' brings everything together to continue his exploration of the chordless format with long- time associates Joe Sanders on bass and Nasheet Waits on drums, augmented by free- wheeling trumpet star Peter Evans in the frontline along Pukl on tenor sax. The new quartet set out across a post-Pandemic Europe, armed with a set of Jure's tunes that allowed a maximum of freedom to explore groove, texture, and melody.1. Metalurgic2. Slippery3.
