Two of the most exciting young saxophonists share this double bill, highlighting their newest projects.
An exceptional artist who has earned accolades in the DownBeat Critics’ Poll and from the Jazz Journalists Association, saxophonist and composer Lakecia Benjamin brings a powerful approach fusing soul and hip-hop with a rock-solid foundation in the jazz tradition.
“A saxophonist who embodies and transcends tradition” (The New York Times), James Brandon Lewis has become, in just over a decade, one of the most celebrated young artists in jazz — a musician who has carved a niche for his singular mixture of gospel, blues, and R&B with the incendiary saxophone explorations of John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, and Sonny Rollins.
