The Cover Story with James Brandon Lewis

--:--
Tenor Saxophonist , composer and Bandleader James Brandon Lewis who possesses an inspiring energy, his curiosity and the thrill he gets from discovery are key aspects of his personality.

Over the last half decade, James has emerged as one of the most exciting figures in jazz and improvised music.

So we explore this with him as he is currently in Morocco on residency and also take a stroll through his musical timeline including listening to a composition from his latest project “ To Mahalia with Love” a project that he says reflects his upbringing in his grandmothers house and he saw it befitting to dedicate it to both Mahalia and his grandmother.
