Creative Jazz Clinic Velenje
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 jazz workshops organised by the late Croatian vibraphonist Boško Petrović at the Max Club in Velenje, which ran for five years from 2000.
The number of students and younger jazz and free jazz players attending the clinic has grown steadily over the years, from 44 in 2016 to over 80 in 2020. Attendance is by prior application only and on a first-come, first-served basis. The fee for a week of workshops and masterclasses was 300 US dollars in 2020.
as has the audience for the concerts held at the end of each day.
