About this show

Kenny Garrett and Sounds From the Ancestors plays Dazzle, a 145-capacity small room in Denver Performing Arts Complex, on Friday, November 6. Doors open at 8:30 PM and the show starts at 9 PM. All ages. Tickets are $40 to $55 plus fees.

Kenny Garrett’s latest release, Sounds from the Ancestors, is a multi-faceted album. The music, however, doesn’t lodge inside the tight confines of the jazz idiom, which is not surprising considering the alto saxophonist and composer acknowledges the likes of Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye as significant touchstones. Similar to how Miles Davis’ seminal LP, On the Corner, subverted its main guiding lights – James Brown, Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone–then crafted its own unique, polyrhythmic, groove-laden, improv-heavy universe, Sounds from the Ancestors occupies its own space with intellectual clarity, sonic ingenuity and emotional heft.
