Born: 1984

Born 1984 in northern Italy, Virginia Genta is self-taught and plays all saxophones (tenor, soprano, sopranino, baritone, alto), wooden flutes, clarinet, plus some percussion, piano and keyboards. Since 2003 she's been working with drummer and percussionist David Vanzan in several projects such as Jooklo Duo, Neokarma Jooklo Trio (or Sextet, Octet, Experience), Golden Jooklo Age, Jooklo Finnish Quartet, New Jooklo Age, ecc. She started playing music from improvisation while quite young, and has always been moving in the music cosmos with a deep, natural and spontaneous approach to creation, constantly working to find the highest way of expression connected to the oneness of universe. Besides this, the devotion of Virginia finds freedom also through drawing and illustration, infact all the Jooklo records' covers and posters are designed by her. A restless activity during the past few years (about 500 concerts and a countless amount of recording sessions, some of these released on labels like Qbico, Holidays, Conspiracy, and her own Troglosound), brought her to collaborations with musicians from all over the world. She has played concerts in Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Russia, UK, USA. In 2009 and 2010 she's also been a music collaborator for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, having the honour to perform on "Nearly Ninety" together with Takehisa Kosugi and John Paul Jones.

Landen Howell

Born: July 9, 2000

I was born on July 9, 2000. I started playing saxophone when I was 12 years old. At the time, I simply played as a hobby. However, I started to develop more interest in music and the saxophone at the age of 14. By the time I was 15, I began playing for up to 8 hours day. I have become heavily influenced by John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders, Eric Dolphy, Hamiet Bluiett, George Adams, Ornette Coleman, and several others. I want to challenge listeners, especially when that's a bit harder to come by these days. Not everyone understands music. Sure anyone can listen to music, but to truly understand the message and the story meant to be told by it is not for the simple-minded

Stephanie Lottermoser

Born: July 19, 1983

Stephanie Lottermoser is a German saxophonist, singer, composer and bandleader, she lives in Hamburg where she moved to in 2018 after living in Munich and Paris. 

In her music and her six solo albums she is painting pictures of society, individuals and situations, often very personally. Being close to her audience is always very important to her and she manages to create an intimate setting on club stages as well as at large festivals and to take the audience with her into her musical world.

In doing so, she has always remained true to herself and her own artistic and personal development very consistently and beyond musical trends and expectations. Her love for soul jazz and groove music is always clearly audible, but her sound goes far beyond that and also integrates traditional jazz, acid jazz, funk, pop and minimal music into an exciting soundscape.
