Broken yet intricate rhythms, modern bass lines, powerful saxophone melodies, rich harmonic textures, and lyrical, spontaneous, spacey, and unpredictable improvisation – this is the musical language of Analog AI, a bold new band born from the deep connection of longtime friends. Their music is a compelling response to the rise of artificial intelligence. They make a defiant statement: that music remains at its most powerful, beautiful, wild, lyrical, and sensual when performed by real musicians, in the moment, and in front of a live audience.

Following his critically acclaimed albums Broken Circles and Melt (Whirlwind Recordings), Jure Pukl—one of Slovenia’s most celebrated jazz musician—returns with his visionary project Analog AI. The group now embarks on a tour to present the material from their highly anticipated forthcoming album.

"Complete freedom in music is hard to achieve. This isn't something that can be learned. Only through playing with musicians who have a point of view, who aren't trying to prove anything, can you even start to approach REAL freedom. Oftentimes, patience and cohesiveness aren't normal companions to virtuosity...but the group of musicians convened here, Jure, John, Joe, and Christian, bring everything to the table. rhythmic complexity, CREATIVITY, texture, sound, form, PATIENCE, interaction, melody, variety, FREEDOM, brilliance, virtuosity, space, PERSPECTIVE, tradition, theme...CHEMISTRY. This is music in its purest form, and it sure is fun to experience." (Walter Smith III)
