Immanuel Wilkins, saxophonist, and composer, captivates with empathetic and compelling music, seamlessly blending melody and lamentation. His debut album, Omega, earned acclaim as The New York Times' No.1 Jazz Album of 2020, showcasing a remarkable quartet with Micah Thomas, Daryl Johns, and Kweku Sumbry. This tight-knit unit returns in his sophomore album, The 7th Hand, delving into the interplay of presence and nothingness across seven movements. Wilkins, labeled by Pitchfork as a composer of "ocean-deep jazz epics," expresses a desire to have his quartet evolve into vessels through this hour-long suite, exploring profound relationships within his Brooklyn-based, Philadelphia-raised artistry.
