„Nach mehr als zehn Jahren des gemeinsamen Musizierens als Trio können die drei offensichtlich die musikalischen Gedanken des anderen lesen“, schrieb Wolfgang Sandner, Biograph von Miles Davis und Keith Jarrett. Das in São Paulo ansässige Trio Caixa Cubo stößt weiter aus der Tradition der brasilianischen Instrumentalmusik vor. Indem sie brasilianische Grooves aus den 1970er Jahren neu interpretieren, tauchen Caixa Cubo tiefer in die Tradition der brasilianischen Instrumentalmusik ein und geben ihr einen zeitgenössischen Dreh. Caixa Cubo war 2022 zu Gast bei der Jazzahead!, hat in mehr als zehn Ländern gespielt und wurde von der BBC, Bandcamp und Worldwide FM in die Liste der besten Alben des Jahres aufgenommen. Am 6. November 2026 erscheint das neue Album Ultracooked (Far Out Recordings). https://www.caixacubo.com.br/

"After more than ten years of playing together as a trio, the three can obviously read each other's musical minds," wrote Wolfgang Sandner, biographer of Miles Davis and Keith Jarrett. São Paulo-based trio Caixa Cubo is jetting further forth from the lineage of Brazilian instrumental music. Reimagining Brazilian grooves from the 1970s, Caixa Cubo delves deeper into the tradition of Brazilian instrumental, adding a more contemporary twist. Caixa Cubo was a guest at Jazzahead! in 2022 and has played in more than ten countries, figured in lists of best albums of the year by BBC, Bandcamp and Worldwide FM. The new album Ultracooked (Far Out Recordings) will be released on November 6, 2026. https://www.caixacubo.com.br/

LOFT

The LOFT in Cologne's Ehrenfeld district is exactly what its name suggests: a spacious loft on the top floor of a former perfume factory. Since 1989 it has been home to the city's musical avant-garde as well as a scene hub and a jazz laboratory for students.

Over those decades it has grown into a respected stage for improvised music, contemporary music, and jazz, with a reputation reaching well beyond Germany. Most of the Cologne jazz musicians who have made their mark nationally and internationally in the past thirty years took their first career steps here, among them Nils Wogram, Hayden Chisholm, Angelika Niescier, Frank Gratkowski, Robert Landfermann, Pablo Held, and Sebastian Sternal.

The Cologne Triennale, WDR, and Deutschlandfunk stage concerts and recordings at the LOFT, and the venue has been invited to the Moers Festival five times. Its own label, 2ndFloor, releases selected recordings, and more than 1,000 live and studio productions made in the LOFT studio have appeared on other labels. Supported by the association 2ndFloor e. V. and the collective jungesloft, it presents over 200 events a year.

Top-tier instruments – including a Steinway D grand, one of the finest concert pianos in any German jazz club – a professional recording studio with award-winning engineers, and the room's distinctive atmosphere have drawn many prominent guests, from Lee Konitz, Steve Lacy, and Peter Brötzmann to Kurt Rosenwinkel, Marilyn Crispell, and Jim Black. Still, the programming focus remains on supporting Cologne's own musicians.

Since 2009 the LOFT has received the NRW venue programming award every year, an honor that specifically recognizes work with emerging regional artists. In 2016 the British Guardian named it one of the ten best jazz clubs in Europe, and at the German Jazz Prize it was voted "Club/Venue of the Year" in 2021 and again in 2023 — a category decided not by the expert jury but directly by the more than 1,300 members of the German Jazz Union.
