2025 winner of the German Jazz Prize
I am very grateful and honored to have won the 2025 German Jazz Prize in the woodwinds category. It means a lot to me to receive this sign of recognition in the country I grew up in! A huge congrats to the other brilliant winners and nominees too. Being a musicians is hard work and we can’t exist without the support, collaboration, and deep connection to others. In that spirit, I want to thank everyone who has been on my team over the decades. It takes a village to make it work, and I appreciate you all!
