Background
It would perhaps be more accurate to say that Pukl revived rather than established the clinic, as it is an acknowledged successor to the series of workshops organised by the late Croatian vibraphonist Boško Petrović at the Max Club in Velenje, which ran for five years from 2000. Pukl was also instrumental in reviving the Max Club Jazz Festival in 2012 after a hiatus of ten years.
