CD Reviews

Kenny Never Let's Me Down!

W. Hicks | Temecula, CA | 10/28/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've been a fan of Kenny Garrett's since 1997 when I first purchased "Songbook" and since then he has remained my favorite saxophonist. I play sax myself and have been a musician for the majority of my life. Ever since I learned about Kenny Garret, he has been a huge inspiration for me.

This album captures the high energy that he is notorious for when you see him live. From the very first note he plays he goes non stop and always manages to get the crowd involved and to leave with a huge smile on their face. His stamina and ability to create musical artwork on the fly is absolutely amazing.

Sketches of MD and Wayne's Thang would have to be my favorite tracks if I am forced to choose. Wayne's Thang is just straight up funk which I love and Kenny's use of effects on his sax just adds to the flavor of the tune. Pharoah Sanders and Kenny obviously have a deep friendship and this is reflected in their musical conversations. I love everything Kenny does, but this album will be hard to top! However, I have no doubt Kenny will find a way. Thanks Kenny... you make me never want to stop listening, learning and playing!!!"

Brilliant Record

""Sketches of MD" is among the best jazz releases of the year. Own it, love it. Imho, Mr Garrett is one of the finest and most influential alto sax masters (as well as artists in general) that have ever lived."
