Aruán Ortiz on Tour with James Brandon Lewis Quartet, July 2022

The charismatic saxophonist and composer James Brandon Lewis is the musician of the moment in the broad field of contemporary jazz. James Brandon Lewis presents his second album,“Code of Being,” with a European tour this summer. “Code of Being” is a powerful work consisting of eight compositions. The four exceptional musicians, including Aruán Ortiz, create an urgent ensemble sound, moving through a broad palette of sound-colors, rhythms and moods, charged with energy. With a profound sense for lyrical melodies, tonal concision and dynamics, the quartet develop a spirited interplay, reacting to the tiniest atmospheric oscillations on the sound and groove level. “This is captivating music which it is hard to resist, especially the melodies with their thematic beauty," writes Florian Keller in the liner notes.
