An underground jazz artist.
Jan Prax is one of the most distinctive and dynamic saxophonists in Europe. Born into a family of German-Polish musicians, he began as a classical piano prodigy before discovering his true voice on the saxophone and in jazz, crafting a sound that bridges tradition with modern intensity, groove, and cross-genre exploration. He has collaborated with artists such as David Sanborn, Gene Lake, and Riccardo del Fra, and performed alongside Max Mutzke, Xatar and the Heavytones. His albums Keepin’ A Style Alive, Ascending, Head To The Sky and Traces Of Light showcase his forward-thinking approach to jazz. On stage, Prax captivates with technical virtuosity, emotional depth, and a sound that hits straight to the core.
Jan Prax plays contemporary jazz and jazz fusion, blending classical piano roots with high-energy saxophone improvisation and modern groove.
