On his second album for Anti, tenor saxophonist James Brandon Lewis has a new trio of old hands and a fresh outlook. Celebrating the giants of free jazz via dubby grooves, sticky funk and monstrous hip-hop beats, Apple Cores is a vibrant celebration of tradition dressed as an urgent manifesto of the new. With a keen intellect and an emotional acuity, Lewis imagines a boisterous multiplicity of sounds, eras and even cities that all happen to coexist in the same place, right here, right now.
