    James Brandon Lewis / Irreversible Entanglements2022


               

     In 2022, I signed Irreversible Entanglements (a collective that includes Camae Ayewa of Moor Mother / 700 Bliss) mid last year - right after they signed a record deal with Impulse (who have released records by John Coltrane, Chico Hamilton, Archie Shepp). I booked the quintet at New York Winter Jazz Fest & Big Ears, within a month after signing them.

    Around the same time, I signed ANTI- artist James Brandon Lewis; and in a little over one year I was able to evolve his live portfolio from playing to 40 people at Cafe Erzulie in Brooklyn to some of the top festivals in USA (Big Ears, Newport Jazz Fest, Vancouver Jazz Fest, Noise Pop), and a North American tour with The Messthetics (of Fugazi) for his record Eye of I.
