James Brandon Lewis is a New York-based jazz tenor saxophonist, composer, and bandleader. His instrumental voice marries the emotional power of gospel and the grit and groove of blues and R&B to the modal and vanguard influences of Albert Ayler and John Coltrane, and Sonny Rollins' expressive melodic and tonal discipline. 'Eye of I' opens with 44 seconds of gritty, high-throttling low-down groove, an ear-pulverizing opening designed to cleanse all traces of ordinary from the palette. From there, Lewis offers a prayerful cover of Donnie Hathaway's 'Someday We'll All Be Free' and then the first of his disarmingly addictive originals, 'The Blues Still Blossoms' in addition to many others.
