Whether
playing in church or for the local jazz festivals in South Carolina,
Dante Lewis always presents a joyful of spirit when making music. The
saxophonist’s band Vision blazes plenty of funk and classic R&B to
their loyal audiences. Vision includes keyboard player and vocalist
Byron Counts who brought his own production and musical vision onto
Lewis’ debut, Set The Mood from Sounds of the
City Records. This contemporary jazz collection combines R&B
favorites and original tunes written or co-written by Counts.
Considering this is Lewis’ first chance in the national spotlight, his
contributions on Set The Mood are quite
pleasing to the ears and can stand up to some of today’s counterparts.
The backing musicians include members of Vision: Counts and bass
guitarist Tyrone Mack. Two of Lewis’ attributes are his refreshing
perspective on the melody and his seamless improvisations which mostly
stray from excessive runs and maintaining a pure tone throughout. To continue, Please click “MORE”!
