Saxophonist and composer Kenny Garrett has won audiences and critics.
“The most important alto saxophonist of his generation.” Washington City Paper
“One of the most admired alto saxophonists in jazz after Parker.” The New York Times
He presented his first album in 1984 and has since continued with many personal albums and concerts.
“Records and concerts are about me taking people on the ride I want to take them on. It can be pretty ballads, some intensity, and then we can party! When they leave, I hope they feel like we took them on a journey. And when they come back to see us or put that CD in the player years later, I hope people have a deeper perspective on the music than the first time.” Kenny Garrett
