Jan Prax
"You are so young and play so great. I hate you!"
With this compliment, none other than David Sanborn honored Jan Prax after his concert on the main stage at the Leverkusen Jazz Days in 2013, which was the reward for winning the festival's "future sounds" competition a year earlier.
The media also echoes this sentiment: "Prax plays the alto saxophone like the devil..." wrote the Hamburger Abendblatt about the Karlsruhe-born musician born in 1992, and the Augsburger Allgemeine sees his ensemble as "an energetic tour de force of the highest quality."
