Alto saxophonist and composer Immanuel Wilkins has announced a January 28 release for his new album The 7th Hand, the follow-up to his widely acclaimed debut Omega which was named the #1 Jazz Album of 2020 by The New York Times with JazzTimes calling it “the most important debut jazz recording in years.” The 7th Hand once again showcases Wilkins’ profound compositional talent with a seven-movement suite of new original pieces performed by his quartet with Micah Thomas on piano, Daryl Johns on bass, and Kweku Sumbry on drums, plus special guests Elena Pinderhughes on flute and the Farafina Kan percussion ensemble.

Top Jazz 2020- MUSICA JAZZ ITALIA Critic’s Poll: Winner, “BEST NEW TALENT: Immanuel Wilkins ”

Omega is the most important debut jazz recording in years (Jazz Times)

"Wilkins clearly has a vision, at once serious and sensuous. Omega teems with rage and reflection, meditative musicality and expressive intensity, and a sturdy technical bravura which invariably serves the integrity of the compositional and conceptual whole rather than indulging a blowing session hubris" (Jazziz)

"The forthrightness and utter command displayed by Wilkins and his quartet is stunning. This is more than an impressive debut: it deserves consideration for one of the year’s best" (Glide)

"An Alto saxophonist with this really exceptionally expressive style, you hear so much emotion in his playing, it’s a very human sound” ( NPR Music)

Omega just may be one of the most relevant recordings of this epic year of 2020, if not for its acceptance of social responsibility, then for its sheer virtuosity, and colorful melodicism ( All About Jazz)
