Abstraction Is Deliverance

Description

James Brandon Lewis is at the top of the international jazz world. With a powerful, direct, and rich tenor saxophone sound and a lyrical quality that unfolds both in his solos and his compositions, he is making a sensation – most effectively with his quartet. Abstraction Is Deliverance is the fifth album by the acclaimed James Brandon Lewis Quartet with Aruán Ortiz, Brad Jones, and Chad Taylor. Following the internationally renowned albums Molecular, Code of Being, MSM Molecular Systematic Music Live, and Transfiguration, James Brandon Lewis now presents Abstraction Is Deliverance – a wonderful ballad album that is not one. With a deep sense of lyrical melodies, tonal concision, and dynamics, the quartet develops an animated interplay, reacting to the smallest atmospheric oscillations in sound and groove. Teju Cole, whose books are considered outstanding works of recent American literature, contributes a text to the booklet for this new release. Expect a real treat.
