Sam Gendel & Sam Wilkes
Based in Los Angeles, this duo has gained global attention for their "Jazz-adjacent" musical style, which deconstructs jazz idioms and blends them with ambient and psychedelia.
Sam Gendel utilizes saxophone and wind controllers to create a unique tone with ethereal soundscapes produced through effects.
He has collaborated with versatile artists such as Ry Cooder, Mach-Hommy, Blake Mills, Laurie Anderson, Perfume Genius, Moses Sumney, Vampire Weekend, and Louis Cole, engaging in activities that transcend genres.
Sam Wilkes, on the other hand, is a bassist/producer with deep grooves and a genre-crossing sensibility.
Known as a reliable partner for Sam Gendel, Louis Cole/KNOWER, and Jacob Mann, he also supports a wide range of artists from pop to indie and R&B, including Chaka Khan, Mk.gee, Dijon, Rufus Wainwright, Maggie Rogers, Dean Blunt, Jacob Collier, and Dominic Fike.
Polished through years of collaboration, their music is surprisingly understated yet exploratory.
The sound, woven from intricately constructed rhythms and floating wind instrument melodies, offers listeners a deep sense of immersion.
The "common musical language" that only they, who know each other's breath so well, can play, can be described as a pinnacle in contemporary instrumental music.
