A polished jazz artist.
With his illustrious career that includes hallmark stints with Miles Davis, Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers, Donald Byrd, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw and the Duke Ellington Orchestra, as well as a heralded career as a solo artist that began more than 30 years ago, Kenny Garrett is easily recognized as one of modern jazz’s brightest and most influential living masters. ~Who Killed AI?~ For more than three decades saxophonist Kenny Garrett has been on the forefront of the most adventurous and creative collaborations in jazz, having performed with generations of innovators such as Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Chick Corea, Freddie Hubbard and more. The living legend charts yet another path in his illustrious career with the release of "Who Killed AI?," his first ever electronic album in collaboration with acclaimed electronic musician and producer Svoy. Garrett will be touring this side project in late 2024. ~Sounds from the Ancestors~ Kenny Garrett’s Sounds From The Ancestors, is a multi-faceted album. The music, however, doesn’t lodge inside the tight confines of the jazz idiom, which is not surprising considering the alto saxophonist and composer acknowledges the likes of Aretha Franklin & Marvin Gaye as significant touchstones. Sounds From The Ancestors occupies its own space with intellectual clarity, sonic ingenuity and emotional heft.
