Our Take

The James Brandon Lewis Quartet's latest offering, "Msm Molecular Systematic Music," is a whirlwind of sonic experimentation that will leave you reaching for your jazz dictionary (if such a thing exists). Lewis, known for his boundary-pushing saxophone skills, leads the charge on this album, taking listeners on a journey through avant-garde jazz landscapes that are as perplexing as they are thrilling.

From the opening track, "Hyperbolic," Lewis's saxophone wails and moans in a way that would make even the most seasoned jazz aficionado sit up and take notice. The rhythm section, consisting of Luke Stewart on bass and Warren Trae Crudup III on drums, provide a solid foundation for Lewis to explore his more adventurous tendencies.

Tracks like "Cognitive Dissonance" and "Sublimation" showcase Lewis's ability to blend traditional jazz elements with more modern influences, resulting in a sound that is both familiar and completely original. The quartet's chemistry is undeniable, with each member contributing their own unique energy to the mix.

Overall, "Msm Molecular Systematic Music" is a mind-bending journey through the outer reaches of jazz, led by one of the genre's most exciting young talents. Whether you're a die-hard jazz fan or just looking to expand your musical horizons, this album is definitely worth a listen. So grab your headphones, pour yourself a glass of something strong, and prepare to be transported to a world where music knows no bounds.
