Tenor saxophonist James Brandon Lewis has revealed that his next album, Eye Of I, will be released via ANTI- Records in early 2023. Accompanying the news is a cover of Donny Hathaway’s “Someday We’ll All Be Free,” featuring Kirt Knuffke on the cornet.
Speaking about the choice of cover song, Lewis says:
“I have always loved Donny Hathaway, not only his voice but his piano playing, in-depth lyrical content, use of metaphor and empowerment. We both also went to Howard University. I truly learned how deep he was as a musician and about his background in classical, jazz and gospel while I was in school there. I also finally reached a point where I felt I could cover him in an honest way while still being myself. He is truly a genius.”
