Brian Charette with OTB @ Salon De Jazz, Cologne, DE

The OPENTHEBOX TRIO is a "band of distinctive virtuosity" (Jazzthetik, HJ Schaal). The compositions and arrangements of Ulm-based drummer and bandleader Christian Krischkowsky playfully combine traditional sound aesthetics with complex rhythmic structures, surprising shifts, and dynamic tempo changes. This creates unmistakable soundscapes—often delicate and fragile, sometimes powerful and wild. "...an astonishingly surprising sonic reserve full of edges, atmosphere, and beauty...with a clear vision for the future. Out of the box!" (Jazzthing, R. Köchl). Their debut album, "Unperfect Buildings," was nominated for the German Jazz Prize in 2024 in the category "National Ensemble of the Year." With New York organist Brian Charette, they have a globally sought-after artist at their side. He has worked with Joni Mitchell, Chaka Khan, Paul Simon, and many others, and has established himself with his projects as one of the leading voices in modern jazz. The encounter of these four exceptional musicians promises a unique listening experience. One can only wonder what creative soundscapes will unfold when the box is opened.

BrianCharette – Hammond organ;
Andreas Dombert – guitar;
Axel Kühn – double bass;
Christian Krischkowsky – drums/composer
