ABOUT THE JAN PRAX QUARTET 
Built around the fresh, pulsating sound of its exceptional saxophonist the Jan Prax Quartet is an internationally award-winning combination that melds elements of traditional and modern jazz into a distinctive groove all of its own. Inspired by the depth and creativity of the American jazz legends of the late 20th century the groups own compositions display a powerful commitment to the jazz of that era whilst forging out in exciting new directions. After two critically acclaimed albums of original material, the Jan Prax Quartet emerged from the summer lockdown of 2020 with a new program featuring the music of the great Charles Mingus. This new direction premiered at Leverkusener Jazztage 2020 with the performance broadcast on national German TV by WDR and 3Sat.
