Alto saxophonist and composer Immanuel Wilkins burst on to the music scene in 2020 with the release of his Blue Note recording debut, *Omega*. Although just 22 at the time, his quartet had already been together for over four years and this experience is reflected in both the maturity of Wilkins’ sound and the sophistication and depth of his compositions. Accolades soon followed, including *Omega* being named the best jazz release of 2020 by the New York Times, the best debut jazz album by NPR and being nominated for an NAACP Image Award. In 2022, Wilkins released his sophomore album on Blue Note, *The 7th Hand*. Like his first release, *The 7th Hand* topped end of year lists including Jazzwise, NPR, The New York Times, The Financial Times and Jazz Times. In addition to touring as a leader, Wilkins continues to record and share the bandstand with both his peers and his longtime mentors, including Jason Moran, Kenny Barron, Wynton Marsalis, Bob Dylan, Solange, and Joel Ross, to name just a few.
