The Jazz Series of Is Sanat opens with Kenny Garrett Quartet. Over the course of a stellar career that has spanned more than 30 years, saxophonist Kenny Garrett has become the preeminent alto saxophonist of his generation. From his first gig with the Duke Ellington Orchestra through his time spent with musicians such as Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers and Miles Davis, Garrett has always brought a vigorous yet melodic, and truly distinctive, alto saxophone sound to each musical situation. In 2010, Garret won the Best Jazz Instrumental Album at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards with Five Peace Band featuring jazz legends Chick Corea and John McLaughlin, Christian McBride and Vinnie Colaiuta. As a bandleader for the last two decades, he has also continually grown as a composer. With his latest recording, Seeds From The Underground, Garrett has given notice that these qualities have not only become more impressive, but have provided him with the platform to expand his horizons and communicate his musical vision clearly.
