Wilkes’ music is steeped in genre fusion, colla boration, and tight rhythm section performance. Known for his work with saxophonist Sam Gendel, Louis Cole and KNOWER, Wilkes has recorded and or performed with Chaka Khan, Rufus Wainwright, Dijon, Maggie Rogers, Jacob Collier, Mk.Gee etc. Wilkes performs live primarily playing a Fender Precision bass while sitting down. “The group blurs the line between jazz duo and electronic-production team, providing listeners with not many notes but plenty of vibes.” (The New Yorker) Presented by Serious.
