Abstraction Is Deliverance

James Brandon Lewis: Tenor Saxophone, compositions
Aruán Ortiz: Piano
Brad Jones: Bass
Chad Taylor: Drums

James Brandon Lewis is at the top of the international jazz world. With a powerful, direct, and rich tenor saxophone sound and a lyrical quality that unfolds in both his solos and compositions, he is creating a sensation - most effectively with his quartet.

Abstraction Is Deliverance is the fifth album by the acclaimed James Brandon Lewis Quartet with Aruán Ortiz, Brad Jones, and Chad Taylor. After the internationally acclaimed albums Molecular, Code of Being, MSM Molecular Systematic Music Live, and Transfiguration, James Brandon Lewis now presents Abstraction Is Deliverance - a wonderful ballad album that isn't one.

With a profound sense for lyrical melodies, tonal concision, and dynamics, the quartet develops a spirited interplay, reacting to the tiniest atmospheric oscillations on the sound and groove level. Teju Cole, whose books are considered outstanding works of recent American literature, contributes a text in the booklet to this new masterpiece. Look forward to a sweeping indulgence.
