With Sketches of MD, Garrett adds several historic firsts to his résumé: the first live recording of the Kenny Garrett/Pharoah Sanders pairing, Garretts' first recorded set at New York City's famed Iridium Jazz Club, and his first release on Mack Avenue. In addition to Sanders, Garrett is joined on stage by Nat Reeves on bass, Benito Gonzalez on keys and Jamire Williams on drums Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fairly good but not excellentKenny Garrett is a superb alto sax-player. This recording shows a comfortable Kenny playing this "funky-jazz" style, although I believe that he has recorded before better works. I was lucky to attend yesterday Kenny's concert in Sala Clamores Jazz (Madrid- Spain). The concert was excellent, although this recording in only fairly good.

Even on Happy People, the only real tune on this recording; I mean, how many times can you end the piece? I have several of Garrett's recordings, both solo, and when he was with Miles, so I know how good he is, but being into jazz, and not funk-jazz (excuse my labelling; I know Miles did it, but there was usually so much more going on with him) I was just a bit let down. Some other reviewer liked the drummer. hmm. Boring. ... Read More Rating: - 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. |
