One of the most highly-regarded modern Brazilian jazz trios, Caixa Cubo presents a renewal of Brazilian grooves from the 70’s and of the Samba-Jazz tradition with a more contemporary twist. The trio’s seventh album, Angela (Heavenly Recordings) was chosen by BBC6, Gilles Peterson and Bandcamp as one of their albums of the year for 2020. The versatility of the trio is easily perceived in their discography. Two albums were released in honor of great masters of Brazilian music: Enigma - a Música de Garoto is a contemporary update on the works of Garoto (1915-1955), bossa nova’s and Brazilian modern guitar’s pioneer. Misturada, Caixa Cubo’s fifth album, was released on 2014 - a tribute to Brazilian music masters, revisited with a renewed samba jazz language. Years later they released Saturno (2018), where the trio embarks on a dizzying improvisation machine. With synthesizers, keyboards, electric bass, the album is aesthetically parallel to that of two previous albums, Quartzo (special feat. Celio Barros) and Canil_ (recorded in duo by Fideles and Gomide). 2012 was the first album released by Caixa Cubo. Acoustic, contemporary and highly improvised, had tracks recorded in duo and trio: with Arthur Decloedt (bass) and Celio Barros (bass) on improvised performances over two themes by Claude Debussy. In 2023 the trio releases the eagerly expect new album Agôra.
