A band of adventurous improvisers, misfits, and legends.

Cryptids is a highly anticipated collaboration among exciting improvisers and composers from Berlin and Brooklyn. Their debut album, coming early 2026, announces the beginning of an international creative force. Julius Gawlik (tenor saxophone and clarinet), Caleb Wheeler Curtis (stritch, trumpet, sopranino saxophone), Felix Henkelhausen (bass), and Marius Wankel (drums) make up this intriguing ensemble.
