Like his debut, The 7th Hand topped numerous year-end lists including Jazzwise, NPR, The New York Times, The Financial Times, and Jazz Times. 2022 also opened new touring opportunities for Wilkins’ Quartet. They toured extensively throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe, including notable performances at the Montreal Jazz Festival, The Monterey Jazz Festival, Umbria, North Sea, Pori Jazz, Newport, The Kennedy Center, The Library of Congress, SFJazz, and the Elbphilharmonie.
In 2023, Wilkins was awarded three Downbeat Critics Poll Awards: Best Alto Saxophonist, Best Rising Star Composer, and Best Rising Star Group. In 2024, his quartet won the prize for Best International Live Act of the Year by the German Deutscher Jazz Preis.
