About JAMES BRANDON LEWIS:
James Brandon Lewis Acclaimed Saxophonist & Composer who the New York Times described as “James Brandon Lewis, a jazz saxophonist in his 30s, raw-toned but measured, doesn’t sound steeped in current jazz-academy values and isn’t really coming from a free-improvising perspective.”
