Johannes Enders
played the saxophone for the first time at the age of 14 and soon began taking lessons at the Weilheim Music School. There he met Micha and Markus Acher, who would later make up two-thirds of the Tied & Tickled Trio. A scholarship obtained for him by American bass legend Reggie Workman (John Coltrane, Art Blakey, among others) and his friendship with his mentor Vincent Herring led him to New York and the New School. There, Enders not only enjoyed the city and its clubs, but above all the lessons of jazz legends such as Donald Byrd, Jerry Bergonzi, Jimmy Cobb, and many others. His silver trophy at the American Music Fest in San Francisco (1990) and his participation in the finals of the renowned Thelonious Monk Competition in Washington, D.C., the following year ensured him a successful reception in the promised land.

Back in Germany, Johannes Enders quickly established himself as one of the most important voices on the tenor saxophone and was awarded the City of Munich's Culture Promotion Prize for Music, the SWR Jazz Prize, the Weilheim Culture Prize, and the New German Jazz Prize, among others. He became a member of the Tied & Tickled Trio and discovered his love for electronic and minimal music.

In addition to guest appearances on other artists' albums and numerous side projects, he repeatedly collaborates with musicians such as Gene Calderazzo, Jorge Rossi, Billy Hart, Joris Teepe, and many others. With Enders Room, a substantial and successful electro-jazz project that has released five successful albums to date (“Monolith,” 2003, “Human Radio,” 2004, “Hotel Alba,” 2006, “Random Guru,” 2008, Hikikomori 2020), he can mainly be heard at festivals.
