Lauded by jazz legend Sonny Rollins who said "When I listen to you, I listen to Buddha, I listen to Confucious...i listen to the depper meaning of life" and Marc Ribot who describes Lewis as a keeper of John Coltrane's legacy: "James Brandon Lewis' solos are like a jumbo jet - you need to give them plenty of runway space to take off and land".
James Brandon Lewis brings an allstar ensemble including Kirk Knuffke (cornet), Anthony Pirog (guitar), Shahzad Ismaily (guitar/bass/electronics) and Ches Smith(drums) to the Forge for one night only this summer.
