This brother is on the rise. His new Blue Note album 7th Hand is a must listen! He speaks in the same language of his jazz ancestors (Jackie McLean, Charles Lloyd, etc.) The future of jazz is in safe and secure hands with Immanuel Wilkins.
Grew up on Phil Woods, Cannonball, and Kenny Garrett, and couldn't agree more. Braxton Cook and Immanuel Wilkins have been the two I've been listening to the most.
It's great to hear new jazz compositions played with such careful arrangement. Cool, soulful and contemporary with great use of dynamics and space in a high quality ensemble sound that reminds of the Miles Davis groups with Wayne Shorter. Immanuel Wilkins' alto evoked a Sonny Criss subtle intensity and tone with just a little undercurrent of Arthur Blythe. A very high quality group non the worse for Covid and clearly at a career high point.
The chemistry of this group is incredible. Some of their moments just create what feels like a shockwave coming off the bandstand. One of my favorites for sure
I recently saw the quartet at the Clifford Brown Jazz Fesitval. As a working band, they were very cohesive, even on a very windy day. This is jazz that is fresh and different every night.
Yep. Same here. Oatts (Selah) meets Garrett. His sound has the dry soul and that somewhat rare ability to resonate the whole horn at oddly infrequent or inconsistent hits. Those resonations are haunting.
I’m 82 and I have heard them all. In addition I studied with the great multi-reed player Makanda Ken McIntyre. I thought this brother was just another of the young pyrotechnical-no-soul players but I’m changing my mind. His pianist could do with not showing off his own technique so much. Less is better. Viz Don Cherry. Silences in jazz are golden.
On the second piece he exhibits the tendency that made another musician tell Coltrane, “Just take the horn out of your mouth!” I mean, this is warp-speed fast but he’s gilding the lily.
Brilliant and searching..from out of the Sanctified Church..It is being presented as an honorable and uplifting offering to all who are blessed to hear and respond to this message..m
What happened to lyrical and beautiful alto playing? Can no one do this any longer? Plenty of tenor players do, but alto is far more challenging to get right as tonal centers on alto are far less user-friendly and more unforgiving as a result than tenor. This take on the alto is not new, it simply furthers the dumpster fire Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy started, rather than carry on the intense and genius constructions of Bird, Phil Woods, and of course Cannonball Adderley. Cheers
But,you are overlooking one extremely important element of Ornette,Dolphy and other major figures in the modern advancement of the alto in this music.Well,two actually. The Blues sensibility, and the element of humor that came with it.Wilkins is obviously an accomplished player,and although he has a very heartfelt, spiritual approach to playing,the lack of humor ultimately leads to a great deal of tedium.

Immanuel Wilkins is the "main sax player" of this New generation. (2020's)
This!!!
Player AND composer - these tunes are complex, modern and beautiful...been listening to him a lot. His creativity is inspiring!
Grew up on Phil Woods, Cannonball, and Kenny Garrett, and couldn't agree more. Braxton Cook and Immanuel Wilkins have been the two I've been listening to the most.
I was about to say that.
Really cohesive band. Great musicians and superb compositions. Thank you Immanuel for your contribution to the Jazz legacy.
Brilliant writing!!! Almost bordering on atonality, yet very, very melodic. I’m a musician.. and a diehard fan..

This music has a wonderful graceful attitude. Had not heard of them before and very glad I now have.
honestly beautiful. really shows the power of music
Very good,feel good music. Makes me want to get up and dance to the tunes.
Great music, great musicians. Immanuel vaulted up in 2023 to the top of the International Jazz Critic Poll. Impressive!
This is divine...everything. A drummer cannot be more locked in.
I was on his concert in Wrocław (14. Sep 2022; Poland). The incredible evening! Immanuel and his band were excellent!
Groovy rythm section. Great sax. That piano just sprinkling in here and there. And the drums rolling around in the open spaces with that bass...
So lyrical.. Mr Wilkens I like a lot . that bass player ..oh yes . whole combo fabulous !
Absolutely incredible group
Kudos to that Bass player for holding his own 🔥 🔥
this is why i study jazz
👌😁Uplifting room making space when I hear this!

I could listen to this coffee jazz music while doing some light yoga and feel completely zen
this is far from being "coffee jazz music".
I discovered him on True Design by Giveton Gelin. Amazing Saxophonist. The Worshipper is my absolute favourite. ❤️
Incredible!
Just amazing! I’m in love with the new album
Wonderful~Love it💖
This is top shelf stuff.
SO GOOD
magic! волшебство! greetings from Russia
This is Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great!
Beautiful sound brother!
Really loved this set, beautiful playing by everyone.
Beautiful playing, writing and concept. I love how you coax all the different tone colors out of your horn. Greetings from Montreal.
BONHEUR🎧🌌🔬🙏
Relaaaaax
Immanuel Wilkins (Sax)
Daryl Jones (Bass)
Kweku Sumbry (Drums)
Micah Thomas (Piano)
It's Daryl Johns not Jones
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well then 🤯😮💟👏👏👏👏👏
Yes, he could definitely be a keeper of the tradition. I’m still reserving judgement about the pianist.
Ayo Cousin keep that sax going
It was Miles Davis who said that to Coltrane. A good model for the brilliant use of silence was Don Cherry.
yeeeeesss
Beautiful 🎶♥️🌺👏🏼
Immanuel might have my favorite tone on the alto since Kenny.
Yep. Same here. Oatts (Selah) meets Garrett.
His sound has the dry soul and that somewhat rare ability to resonate the whole horn at oddly infrequent or inconsistent hits. Those resonations are haunting.
He's almost got a Braxton Cook meets Kenny Garrett sound, honestly.
Omg

Encias Sangrantes?
🐱🏍🐱👤🐬✨🌹
Who's the Mick Jagger looking dude on Bass?
Daryl Johns. One of the meanest dudes on the scene rn
This guy is great and he also needs new glasses
ちゃんとジャズの音してますね？www日本にはこういう音出せる人居ないですwww

Some of the better jazz. Jazz music is strange, seems almost like classical training where robotic composition cant be ridded from the minds.
100% boring
Goofball
Buy some glasses that fit

Did you miss the whole second tune?

this shows how little and ignorant you are about music, study more before you speak
