“Kurt Rosenwinkel’s music is the future of jazz—just like bebop once was.” CHICAGO TRIBUNE
KURT ROSENWINKEL’s career spans almost three decades collaborating with dynamic peers like Brad Mehldau, Brian Blade, Mark Turner, Joshua Redman, Chris Potter, and jazz elders like Joe Henderson, Paul Motian and Gary Burton. Rosenwinkel’s indelible mark in music is steeped in the rich and deep traditions of jazz, springing off of the shoulders of such vital underpinnings to elevate his own art to new heights, evolving the language in a way no other guitarist has since his arrival. Kurt’s new project was inspired by Brasil’s music, rock and jazz, and yet is a highly personal while still genre-bending. The sextet is called CAIPI, as in Caipirinha, Brasil’s strangely intoxicating drink.
“Kurt Rosenwinkel is a genius—he really is.” ERIC CLAPTON
“Mr. Rosenwinkel has always been a jazz guitarist of glowing lyricism and graceful exposition.”

The first song of what has now become Caipi came to Rosenwinkel about 10 years ago. It was new, bright as opposed to
dark, introspective yet reflecting, and ultimately exciting music. The songs kept flowing, as Kurt has noted, with the help of
angels and love with the ultimate intention of Rosenwinkel helping to bring a bit more light into the world. Kurt has formed
a sextet, THE CAIPI BAND, to play his new works.
PEDRO MARTINS is considered one of the most promising guitarists of Brasil’s new generation. His touch is based on the
essence of his mother country, but charged with a vogue lingo.
OLIVIA TRUMMER, being trained in classical as well as in jazz piano, has enriched her ability to blend lyrical melodies with
rich harmony and rhythmical sophistication.
FREDERICO HELIDORO plays an intense bass that is at points virtuous and loaded with feeling, then downright experimental,
wound up by his Brasilian sense with jazz and contemporary sensibilities.
ANTONIO LOUREIRO creates genre-crossing, fresh music by combining the traditional of Brasil with jazz and prog elements
while employing his extensive treasure trove of instruments.
