Code of being

"... what one hears more than anything is the sheer power that four compatible musicians can create when pursuing a common vision, subordinating all of their individual talents to something greater than the sum of its parts. Lewis has had the good fortune to cultivate such a creative process with this remarkable group, even on just its sophomore release. Here's hoping for many more to come".

"Code Of Being is James Brandon Lewis' second recording with his "Molecular" quartet (pianist Aruán Ortiz, bassist Brad Jones and drummer Chad Taylor) - for which the tenor saxophonist writes in a system based on biological cell processes. The album also mines his interest in African American visual artists. Puting that aside, what matters is that Code Of Being features some of Lewis' most beautiful music".
