James Brandon Lewis Trio No Filter

Debut full length for the James Brandon Lewis Trio and the follow up to Lewis's
critically acclaimed "Days of Freeman" consists of Luke Stewart on Bass, Warren Trae
Crudup III on Drums, Lewis on Tenor Sax and features special guests Nicholas Ryan
Gant, Anthony Pirog, and P.SO the Earth Tone King. The compositions from Lewis
combined with the masterful, passionate output from all the members are brilliantly
executed arrangements which translates into a raw, gritty, mind bending journey of
relentless attack and frenzy intertwined with delicate laces of sensual R&B bliss. From
beginning to end it is filled with emphatic roars and a non-stop soulful resonance
rooted in an auditory output, which combines elements of early 90's hip hop with a
mixture of fresh, innovative ingredients that may be described as free form
experimental jazz core. "No Filter unveils a raw, rugged, uncut and uncompromising
aesthetic, and that is exactly what the players deliver. The sheer hardness of their
attack has the front row initially leaning back, eyebrows raised and then heads nodding
in hypnosis when the full force of the music really starts to kick in."
