A very special, first-time collaboration between the musical worlds of one of mainland Europe's top reedsmen and Slovenian native, Jure Pukl with 'the jewel of the London jazz scene' Christine Tobin, mixing contemporary jazz and improvisation with voice, poetry, and song. With UK Ace (and recent Parliamentary Jazz Award 'Musician of the Year' Winner) Phil Robson on guitars alongside first call Austrian drummer Klemens Marktl, this genre defying music will showcase arrangements from Pukl and Tobin's own songbook, specifically reworked for this meeting.

Jure Pukl is a Slovenian born tenor saxophonist, who currently resides between the Big Apple and Vienna, Austria. A protege of the legendary George Garzone, Jure has performed in the US and Europe with such artists as Aaron Goldberg, Jeremy Pelt, Mark Turner, and Dave Liebman. His music is an ecclectic mix of contemporary jazz and the soulful Slavic rhythms and harmonies of his homeland of Slovenia, and also conceptually influenced by some of the most genre breaking jazz musicians: Steve Lehman and Rudresh Mahanthappa. He has released 5 critically acclaimed albums, and his most recent features wunderkind drummer, and Roy Hayne's grandson, Marcus Gilmore. Jure's tenor sound is rich and beautiful, and he uses his virtuosic technique with wit and aplomb, with strong emphasis on melody and motivic development.
