A distinctive feature in the career of Wanja Slavin, the alto saxophonist born in 1982 in Freiburg and living in Berlin since 2005, is his rare engagement with long-lasting bands. Slavin seeks the thrill in change – whether it's reshuffling a newly established band to immerse himself in the unique experience of collaborating with musicians on stage for the first time. This approach allows him to freely engage in improvisation, uninfluenced by precedents or clichés, ensuring that every phrase, note, and line he plays on his saxophone sounds unique and remains one-of-a-kind.
