James Brandon Lewis Quartet - Transfiguration (CD)

James Brandon Lewis is at the top of the international jazz world. He stands in the tradition of saxophonists such as Sonny Rollins, Albert Ayler and John Coltrane. With his powerful, direct and rich tenor saxophone sound and a lyrical quality that unfolds in both his solos and his compositions, he is causing a sensation. Transfiguration is the fourth album by the acclaimed James Brandon Lewis Quartet with Aruán Ortiz, Brad Jones and Chad Taylor. The quartet was honored with the German Jazz Award as Band of the Year 2023. John Sharpe writes about the new album Transfiguration in the liner notes: "As the band has matured it's chemistry has deepened. While it's the melodies which first grab the ear, it's the sublime interplay which sustains the interest in the long term." A pleasure to listen to!
