Breath of Life is the twelfth album by the jazz group the World Saxophone Quartet. Recorded in 1992 and released in 1994 it was the group's fifth and final album on the Elektra/Nonesuch label and features performances by Hamiet Bluiett, Arthur Blythe, Oliver Lake and David Murray with Fontella Bass and a rhythm section.
The Allmusic review by Al Campbell awarded the album 4 stars and stated "Going a step further from the previous year's experiment with African drums on Metamorphosis, Breath of Life continues to find the sax quartet stretching the boundaries associated with its acappella approach of the past".
