The first thing you notice is the mystery. There's mystery in the

saxophone... (Vijay Iyer)

The first thing you notice is the mystery. There's mystery in the

saxophone of Jure Pukl: here startling you with surgically precise, casual

clarity, elsewhere careening across the sonic landscape in a warm,

microtonal spiral. There is mystery in his compositions: uncompromising,

sometimes bright but often brutal, rhythmically driving and richly

chromatic: intensely ordered, yet with a core of burning intensity. And

mystery is in abundance in the stunning prowess and resourcefulness of the

young ensemble performing Mr. Pukl's intricate music: the listener is

invited to wonder, "How did this happen?"

This album is a haunting and beautiful achievement from Jure Pukl, an

uncommon young artist with an original vision for modern music. His

compositions are not just pretty songs; they are ideas, ready to be

unpacked in performance. You hear shades of Steve Coleman and Gary Thomas,

Wayne Shorter and Sam Rivers, Andrew Hill and Eric Dolphy. Or to say it

another way, you hear lines and shapes, weight and depth, order and its

opposite.

Sometime ago, my colleague and fellow keyboardist James Hurt used to say

about certain musicians: "S/he knows." The universe became divided between

those who possess knowledge about the hidden order of things, and those who

have yet to learn. Jure Pukl is one of those rare beings whose music

reflects a higher understanding at a young age. And with this album, he

has created a listening experience with something to teach us all. He

knows.
