GRAMMY® Award-winning saxophonist & 2023 NEA Jazz Master Kenny Garrett is one of the most powerfully expressive, uplifting, and influential instrumentalists and bandleaders of our time. Kenny's fiery quintet swings into Keystone Korner Baltimore for 2 nights, Friday & Saturday, September 11th & 12th! 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.
Sounds From The Ancestors, is a multi-faceted album. Similar to how Miles Davis’ seminal LP, On the Corner, subverted its main guiding lights – James Brown, Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone – then crafted its own unique, polyrhythmic, groove-laden, improv-heavy universe, Sounds From The Ancestors occupies its own space with intellectual clarity, sonic ingenuity and emotional heft. Sounds From The Ancestors reflects the rich jazz, R&B, and gospel history of his hometown of Detroit, and deeply resonates with the Afro-Caribbean rhythms of Cuba, Nigeria and Guadeloupe.
