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. And with his latest marvelous album Sounds From The Ancestors, the Grammy award-winning Garrett shows no signs of resting on his laurels. The Bach is once again proud to present this living legend.
