Information on Kenny Garrett

"Someone should post a storm warning before a Kenny Garrett concert."

 Kenny Garrett is widely recognised as one of the most talented saxophonists of his generation, having recorded and worked with jazz legends including Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, Freddie Hubbard and McCoy Tyner. His early days included periods in groups playing the music of Duke Ellington, Thad Jones and Charles Mingus before his career really took off with the release of his first album, Introducing Kenny Garrett, in 1984. His music is very much open to outside influences and, as his acclaimed 2006 album Beyond the Wall made apparent, he shows no signs of slowing down as a cutting edge artist and performer. Garrett returns to Ronnie Scott's following his show last year, which was one of the highlights of 2007; for these performances, Kenny's group will comprise of Jeff Motley on organ, David Linwood on double bass and Justin Brown on drums.

Support comes from Canadian born vocalist Tammy Weis, a talented songwriter and elegant interpreter of the American Songbook.
