The group of Jure Pukl gathers some of these talents into a cohesive unit, which primarily performs the compositions of its leader, Slovenian saxophone phenomenon Jure Pukl, with a characteristic energy. Pukl's composing skills were recently acknowledged by the JazzOn 2005 competition award. The jury lead by Jerry Bergonzi declared his piece Hubscrauber as the winner of the contest." by Official Brno Jazz Festival booklet (CZ)

"Fans of European-influenced post-bop would be well advised to check out Jure Pukl and his Virus Quintet. They are at the forefront of a new wave of young European musicians who, with a clear reverence for their roots that manages to avoid being strictly imitative, demonstrate that improvised music still has places to go!" by John Kelman, ejazznews (January 2004)
