Immanuel Wilkins Quartet
Jazz Festival
MoS - Jazz - Museum of Science
Alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins is one of the most magnetic young musicians in America. With his quartet, he brings a sound marked by confidence, clarity of purpose, and an intensity that feels wholly alive in the moment. Wilkins composes with rare intention—each phrase shaped by a deep idea—and his band delivers it with the kind of conviction that fills a room. This quartet's Vivo Performing Arts debut will be an essential night for anyone drawn to music where virtuosity, community, and emotion are inseparable.
“This haunting, profound, astonishing record is this reviewer’s pick for the year’s best — and it isn’t even close. Indeed, few albums released in any year achieve alto saxophonist/composer Wilkins’ improbable balance of ethereal and earthy, of searching and grounded, of virtuosic and plainspokenly lyrical. The afore-used “astonishing” doesn’t do it justice — but there’s no better word, either.”
