Our Take

James Brandon Lewis and his Red Lily Quintet have managed to craft a truly unique and captivating album with "Jesup Wagon." Combining elements of avant-garde jazz with hints of traditional blues and soul, this record takes listeners on a wild and unpredictable musical journey.

The album opens with the infectious groove of "Red Lily," setting the tone for what is to come. Lewis' saxophone playing is nothing short of astounding, effortlessly weaving in and out of complex melodies and improvisations. The rest of the quintet, including the talented pianist and drummer, provide a solid foundation for Lewis to shine.

Tracks like "Wagonin'" and "Heart On A Stoop" showcase the band's ability to blend different genres and styles seamlessly. The result is a sound that is both familiar and fresh, keeping listeners on their toes throughout the entire album.

But it's on the closing track, "Moonriver," where the Red Lily Quintet truly shines. Lewis's emotive playing takes center stage, evoking a sense of longing and nostalgia that is impossible to ignore. It's a fitting end to a truly remarkable album.

Overall, "Jesup Wagon" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking for something new and exciting. James Brandon Lewis and his Red Lily Quintet have truly outdone themselves with this one, cementing their status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of modern jazz.
