'For Mahalia, With Love' by award winning tenor saxophonist-composer James Brandon Lewis & his Red Lily Quintet, reimagines songs made famous by the gospel icon Mahalia Jackon, who galvanised a nation with her voice. Lewis lived her music growing up, nurtured by a grandmother who had received Mahalia's singing like a bolt from above. Much more than a tribute, this work is 'really a three-way conversation between Mahalia, my grandmother and me'. The challenge was to turn these songs into jazz, the 21st century variety. What James and the band (William Parker on bass, Chad Taylor on drums, Kirk Knuffke on cornet and Chris Hoffman on cello) conjure with this music is miraculous.
