Our Take

James Brandon Lewis's latest release, "Eye of I," transports listeners on a cosmic journey through the depths of avant-garde jazz. Lewis, known for his innovative approach to the saxophone, continues to push the boundaries of the genre with this ambitious album.

From the opening track, "Orbit," Lewis mesmerizes with his hypnotic saxophone lines, weaving in and out of complex rhythms and harmonies. His collaboration with drummer Chad Taylor and bassist Brad Jones creates a seamless energy that propels the music forward, never losing its sense of urgency.

Tracks like "Celestial Odyssey" showcase Lewis's ability to blend traditional jazz elements with experimental sounds, creating a sonic landscape that is both familiar and otherworldly. The interplay between the trio is truly captivating, each musician pushing the boundaries of their instruments to create a truly unique listening experience.

Lewis's impeccable musicianship shines through on every track, his saxophone wailing and soaring with an intensity that is impossible to ignore. The closing track, "Transcendence," is a fitting end to this cosmic journey, leaving listeners in a state of awe and wonder.

Overall, "Eye of I" is a testament to James Brandon Lewis's artistic vision and talent. With its blend of traditional jazz and avant-garde sensibilities, this album is a must-listen for any fan of the genre. Lewis has once again proven himself to be a true visionary in the world of jazz music.
