The name Volker Schlott stands for one of the most renowned saxophonists in (East) German jazz. Holly Schlott, who has been living as a trans man since 2018, founded a large ensemble called UNIQUE in 2022, which includes both established instrumentalists (such as Birgitta Flick) as well as many young artists from the queer Berlin jazz scene (such as Zusa Jasińska and Erik Leuthäuser) and addresses the topic of ‘transgender in jazz’ in harmonious vocal passages.
