Kenny Garrett - Sounds From The Ancestors - LP

2LP

Composer and alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett emerged on the national scene in the late 1970s, going on to work with Woody Shaw, Freddie Hubbard, Art Blakey, and Miles Davis. On Sounds from the Ancestors, Garrett channels the spirit of African ancestral sounds — church services, recited prayers, work-field songs, Yoruban chants, and African drums — alongside tributes to Roy Hargrove and drum pioneers Art Blakey and Tony Allen. Touchstones like Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye push the music well beyond the tight confines of the jazz idiom into its own polyrhythmic, groove-laden universe.
