IMMANUEL WILKINS QUARTET

Immanuel Wilkins is a Philadelphia-born alto saxophonist and composer who studied at Juilliard and has become one of jazz's most compelling contemporary voices. His Blue Note Records releases—Omega (2020), The 7th Hand (2022), and Blues Blood (2024)—showcase his fusion of spiritual depth, compositional sophistication, and commitment to Black cultural narratives. A versatile bandleader, sideperson, and educator, Wilkins balances rigorous modernism with deep roots in gospel, blues, and the jazz tradition.
