Emerging in the '80s with an exceptional ability to create emotionally charged melodic phrases, saxophonist Kenny Garrett is now one of the greatest masters of contemporary jazz. He has collaborated with legends like Miles Davis and Art Blakey, winning numerous Grammy and NAACP Awards. His latest album, Sounds from the Ancestors, celebrates the sounds of African ancestors, with tributes to Roy Hargrove and drummers Art Blakey and Tony Allen, who, like him, looked to the past to shape the future of jazz.
