On this episode, my guest is Jure Pukl, a world-class saxophone player, improviser, and a truly brilliant musician. I am really fond of him and I really enjoy his sense of humour.
We also share a couple of similarities: we both come from our hometown, Velenje, and we both moved back to Slovenia after years of living abroad.
This episode is about jazz, improvisation, and he will share his hilarious story about his musical upbringing; you have to hear it to believe it. All the way to enjoying life as it is and embracing what it gives you.
He also used an NFT as artwork on one of his recent albums called Melt.
We will also discuss the experience and the importance when people/teachers doubt in you. It is not nice, of course, BUT! I realised I would not change a ‘not nice experience’ for anything, because it gave me a chance to grow stronger from it, and to realise what I really want and make that even more meaningful.
I think one of the problems today is that society is trying to protect and prevent people from ‘not nice’ experiences (parents trying to remove everything unpleasant in their life, or society with its close to paranoid political correctness). I believe we have to be challenged in order to train our mental resilience. I see it like training a sport, body, or craft as artists for that matter. (Of course, as long as it is not life-threatening.)
How can we ever get stronger or wiser if not through a set of challenges in life?

#7 Touring, being you and the importance of therapy with PANAGIOTIS ANDREOU | Sound Mind Podcast
On this episode, my guest is Panagiotis Andreou. A wonderful New York based musician and bass player, touring all over the globe as a member of different projects.
I recognize him not only as a monster bass player, but also as a very supportive and understanding human being.
I first found out about him 12 years ago through series of YouTube videos that he made together with his band New York Gypsy All Stars. This band was definitely one of my main influences in regard to Balkan fusion music.
This podcast is a heartfelt conversation where we have discussed topics ranging from life of a touring musician, leaving the country and studying abroad in pre internet era, musicians life in New York, Mediterranean vs. the rest of the world to sharing some personal insights and opening up on the topic of taking therapy. As a cherry on top we will even briefly discuss the life of monkeys.
