Tobias Meinhart Quartet – Sonic River Brooklyn-based saxophonist and composer Tobias Meinhart, praised as "Germany’s biggest talent on the saxophone" by JazzThing Magazine, is a key voice in contemporary jazz. With a career spanning performances at renowned venues like Blue Note, Smalls, and Birdland, Meinhart has established himself as an artist who seamlessly bridges modern jazz with rich storytelling. His latest album, Sonic River, is a deeply immersive work shaped by literary influences and the rhythmic energy of New York City.

The Sonic River quartet has been Meinhart’s trusted ensemble for performances in New York’s top clubs and international festivals. Now, they bring this dynamic music to audiences worldwide, celebrating the spirit of improvisation and the ever-evolving language of jazz.
