Kenny Garrett and Sounds From The Ancestors: Tiny Desk Concert
Suraya Mohamed | May 2, 2023
Saxophonist Kenny Garrett has been a significant player in jazz for more than 30 years. He’s played with the best: Miles Davis, Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers, Donald Byrd, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, the Duke Ellington Orchestra and more. And with such a fabled past, he is still pushing the boundaries of modern jazz. His most recent album, Sounds from the Ancestors, was one of NPR Music’s best albums of 2021.
“I believe that music does heal people,“ Garrett said in a recent interview. “That’s the reason that I play this music, because I know it heals me.“ You can hear that spiritual belief along with gospel elements of the Black American church on the first song of this Tiny Desk performance, “When the Days Were Different.“ On “Hargrove“ Garrett pays homage to both John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme and trumpeter Roy Hargrove, as the song’s hard-bop infused R&B groove builds momentum right up until the end
