Le Petit Faucheux hosts the concert of the James Brandon Lewis Quartet broadcast live on France Musique radio, on Saturday, April 20th at 7 p.m.
James Brandon Lewis Quartet
With a sound that John Coltrane wouldn't have disowned - perhaps he would have even taken him under his wing - James Brandon Lewis moves forward in the footsteps of tenor saxophone giants, in a quartet that is both classic and dynamic. Supported by a fortissimo pianist and a rhythm section at ease in any circumstance, he delivers an extraordinary physical performance that will resonate in our memory for a long time. The entire history of contemporary jazz is explored, from hard bop to the avant-garde. Inspired by molecular biology, he develops a special system for music where the richness of rhythms, timbres, and melodies provides a unique experience for the audience.
