The Berlin ensemble Oktopuzzle, which has existed since 2010, has taken the quote from jazz legend Steve Lacy as its motto. Under the direction of Berlin bassist and composer Horst Nonnenmacher, the band has spent years developing a repertoire of songs by Horst Nonnenmacher, Hannes Zerbe, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Wayne Shorter and original compositions by the band members. The band is characterized by energetic improvisations and communicative interaction.

Oktopuzzle has gained fans and routine in numerous concerts (Zosch, Jazzfest Charlottenburg, Kunstfabrik Schlot, in MIM or June 2014 to September 2015 monthly in the ZigZag Jazzclub, formerly Noyman Miller). For years, the ensemble has presented itself annually at the Berlin Jazztreff, with members of the band winning prizes each time. In 2013, the whole band won the "main prize": a day of recording at the Blackbird Music Studio.
In 2023, the band recorded a live video at the Castalian Spring studio, also a prize from the Berlin Jazztreff.
