Kenny Garret Pittsburg Saturday night 2/16

[Ed Svoboda]

Kenny Garrett, who has played with everyone from Woody Shaw to Miles Davis, brings his exciting quartet to the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild tomorrow night for what promises to be an evening of sheer intensity.

Garrett last performed in Pittsburgh in 2002 as part of the Mellon Jazz Festival. He is a formidable alto and soprano saxophonist who is known for performing passionate and focused music.

Kenny's one of my favorite alto players. I hope you can take in the show.

I've been a fan of Kenny's since I picked up that Marcus Miller Ohne Filter DVD. I know Marcus's drummer personally, and he introduced me to the music of Kenny, James Carter, and Eddie Harris who have since been very influential in my developement as a musician. I met James some months back and I would LOVE to meet Kenny. The guy is sick...so smooth, yet "in your face". He's a true master of his craft.

Kenny and Phil woods are probably the top two jazz guys on alto. Considering Kenny and I are about the same age that's really saying something for the shear talent and ability of Kenny.
