The matrix is dedicated to the proposition that fame, success, and intrinsic artistic worth are not necessarily correlated.
A small-world network, it positions all matrixed artists within close, navigable, sign-posted steps of each other, irrespective of nation, degree of fame, and social status.
This by the same seemingly magical mathematics which dictates that each of over 7 billion human beings on planet earth are separated from all others by 6 or fewer steps.
A happy corollary: Matrixed artists are by this m.o. rendered discoverable and accessible by everybody everywhere on the planet.

Bio:
James Brandon Lewis is a critically acclaimed saxophonist, composer, recording artist and educator. Lewis has received accolades from New York Times, Q Magazine, and cultural tastemakers such as Ebony Magazine, who hailed him as one of the “7 Young Players to Watch” in today's scene.
Lewis has shared stages with Ken Filiano, Darius Jones, Jason Hwang, William Parker, Hamiet Bluiett, Hamid Drake, Ravi Coltrane, Jimmy Heath, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Joe Lovano, Dave Douglas, Marc Ribot, Anthony Coleman and many others.
He was endorsed by Sonny Rollins: “Promising young player with the potential to do great things, having listened to the Elders”.
The New York Times had this to say: "James Brandon Lewis , a jazz saxophonist in his 30's, raw toned but measured, doesn't sound steeped in current jazz academy values. There's an independence about him."
James leads numerous ensembles and is the co-founder of poetry music ensemble Heroes Are Gang Leaders.
He attended Howard University and holds an MFA from California Institute of the Arts.
