James Brandon Lewis

Visionary composer and tenor saxophonist James Brandon Lewis’s bravest, yet most palpable artistic feat, Days Of FreeMan, opens with a poignant and profound introductory monologue from a maternal sage. She says, “The best thing of living is living who you are. You can’t be somebody else; you gotta be what God gave you to be and who you are.

Ludovico Granvassu's Garden Of Jazzy Delights 2025
by Ludovico Granvassu
Capturing the breathtaking beauty, range, and diversity of jazz released in 2025 through a list of “10 best albums" feels as challenging, vain--and ultimately disappointing--as trying to photograph the Grand Canyon at sunset by placing a pinhole in front of a rudimentary digital camera's lens.

Aruán Ortiz: Créole Renaissance
by Neri Pollastri
L'avevamo sentito recentemente dal vivo in vari contesti, dal duo con Don Byron al Pinocchio di Firenze fino al quartetto con James Brandon Lewis al Jazz&Wine of Peace 2025 (dove non a caso era stato il vero protagonista), ma l'occasione in cui ci aveva maggiormente colpiti era stato in solitudine, ancora al Pinocchio Jazz, nel marzo ...
Chad Taylor: Smoke Shifter
by Carl Medsker
Smoke Shifter leans toward tradition, which is perhaps a bit surprising given the exploratory, cutting-edge music previously produced by everyone in this quintet. Led by master percussionist Chad Taylor, the album is a diverse program of well-crafted, contemporary songs performed by an egalitarian collective. Taylor co-founded the Chicago Underground bands with Rob Mazurek, celebrated ...
