We present a state-of-the-art analysis on determining the strong coupling constant αs(mZ) from available e+e− data for the Heavy Jet Mass (HJM) distribution. Dijet resummation is supplemented with additional resummation of shoulder logarithms appearing around the symmetric 3-jet configuration of the HJM spectrum. In addition to αs(mZ) we further obtain numerical results for two non-perturbative parameters, Ω1ρ and Θ1, encompassing effects from dijet and trijet hadronization effects, respectively.
