„Cobra“ is the name of the debut album by saxophonist and bass clarinettist Victor Fox, who studies in cologne. For this special project, he formed a quartet with three incredible improvisers and composeres who also have their own projects. Achim Kaufmann on piano, prepared piano and fender rhodes, Roger Kintof on double bass and Leif Berger on drums. The two pieces called „Umlauftank“ and Zustand II“ were remixed by the leipzig based musician Jan-Einar Groh. The Recording consists of composed music, free improvisations and standard compositions. These ten tracks form the essence of Victor‘s musical work.

Victor Fox: tenor / soprano saxophone, bass clarinet
Achim Kaufmann: piano / prepared piano, Fender Rhodes
