James Brandon Lewis was in the recording studio for Intakt Records in New York in January 2020 and recorded an album with his own compositions with the James Brandon Lewis Quartet. Wonderful pieces, fantastically played by Aruan Ortiz on piano, Brad Jones on bass, Chad Taylor on piano and James Brandon Lewis on tenor sax. A jewel. The CD will be released in autumn 2020.
