Kenny Garrett

Kenny Garrett begon zijn loopbaan bij het Duke Ellington Orchestra. In de jaren '80 werd hij internationaal bekend toen hij in de Miles Davis band speelde. "A lot of my fans really want me to do a live CD. You do CDs in the studio and there are always time restraints. For the album 'Standard of Language', I stretched it a little longer, instead of worrying about time constraints. We play longer to get the same energy. I'd love to do a live show, where we can really stretch it."

The multi-Grammy® nominee brings a muscular yet lyrical eloquence to everything he lends his artistry - from collaborating with the New Jersey symphony on Adagio For Strings to mixing it up with hip-hop legend GURU on his Jazzmatazz projects; be it swinging hard with legends Miles Davis and Art Blakey, or rockin' out with Sting and Peter Gabriel."
