The saxophone legend once again at Jassmine!
Ever since he appeared in Miles Davis' band in the mid-1980s, saxophonist Kenny Garrett has been distinguished by one thing above all else: the pursuit of absolute perfection. This may have stood in the way of his emotionality on some tracks, but who can just get out of their skin like that? On his new album 'Sounds From The Ancestors', Kenny goes further than ever before to get some distance. And here he reveals musical sides of his personality that we haven't yet known from him.
The Sounds From The Ancestors album is as multi-layered as if it were a film in which he himself acted as director, writer, cinematographer, lead actor and, of course, soundtrack provider.
"When I play Coltrane, I don't play Coltrane, I play music."
