(Note: Kenny Garret replaces the John Abercrombie Organ Trio, which had to cancel for health reasons. If you purchased a ticket to John Abercrombie you will be contacted by email about upgrading or refunding your purchase. Thank you for your patience.)
Garrett fronts a stellar quintet featuring rising stars Vernell Brown, Jr. on piano, Corcoran Holt on bass, Marcus Baylor on drums, and Rudy Bird on percussion. They will be playing the music from their latest recording Do Your Dance, a travelogue of rhythms from the melodic lilt of โCalypso Chantโ and the soothing, Brazil-inspired โBossaโ to the summer barbecue spirit of โBackyard Grooveโ and โPhilly.โ
For the acclaimed saxophonist, the urge to dance is a natural outcome of the infectiously joyous music he makes. Offering up virtuoso playing for those who appreciate world-class improvisation, while stirring up rhythmic action that practically forces you to move and groove, Garrett and his band are out to stimulate a listenerโs mind and body. Garrettโs quintet usually plays large festivals, making this concert a very rare opportunity to hear this high-energy band in a very hip intimate space
A veteran of the bands of the legendary trumpeters Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw, Garrett established his undisputed reputation as one of his generationโs most scintillating saxophonists by the time he left his twenties. Leading his own ensembles for the past three decades, he has also performed and recorded with such jazz icons as Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Chick Corea and Bobby Hutcherson. And he has collaborated with contemporary music giants Sting, Meshell Ndegeocello and Q-Tip, of A Tribe Called Quest.
โRecords and concerts are about me taking people on the ride I want to take them on,โ Garrett exclaims. โIt can be pretty ballads, some intensity, and then we can party! When they leave, I hope they feel like we took them on a journey.โ So get ready to both experience some world class music making and to feel mighty goodโwhen Garrett is in charge thereโs no trade-off. Donโt miss this special chance to see a critics and audience favorite in the rare up close and personal setting that SHED is known for.
