The tenor saxophonist James Brandon Lewis proves that, with applied passion and purpose of expression, free jazz is still capable of sending a few bracing chills down your spine. Given the tradition that Lewis and other younger players now draw upon, it’s not surprising that “Jesup Wagon” can call to mind such sixties masterworks of open improvisation as Don Cherry’s “Complete Communion.” But Lewis has his own fervid tale to tell, as does his ardent foil, the cornettist Kirk Knuffke. (The drummer Chad Taylor, the cellist Christopher Hoffman, and the ubiquitous bassist William Parker bulk up the spirited Red Lily Quintet.) Although a few pieces momentarily calm the torrent, the majority attempt to upturn the ground, confirming that the free-jazz idiom still has plenty of juice.
