Acclaimed jazz saxophonist and composer James Brandon Lewis’ instrumental voice marries the emotional power of gospel and the grit and groove of the blues.

Lewis’ melodic identity encompasses ancient and future, inside and outside, density and openness, church and street. He’s a master of the short infectious motif who devotes long expanses of his improvisation to the stretching and refracting and mutating of short phrases.

Accompanying James and his quartet are poets Terrance Hayes, George Abraham, and Cynthia Dewi Oka.
