Kenny Garrett featuring Bobby Hutcherson January 26, 2007

“Kenny Garrett’s musical voice is intense, straight-ahead swing- and funk-flavored hard bop and free jazz.”
Paula Edelstein, All Music Guide

Multi-Grammy nominee alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett and legendary vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson get together for a special four-night engagement at Yoshi’s! Garrett has a truly unique style with a sound full of lyrical eloquence that possesses an unmistakable and powerful tone. He's been a sideman for legends like Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Sting and Peter Gabriel, emerging in the mid-'80s as one of the jazz world's most exciting and eclectic artists. Hutcherson is one of the true innovators on the vibraphone. In his hands, the vibraphone is an instrument of subtlety and power, and Hutcherson uses it to create sounds that are dynamic and swinging. Hutcherson is featured on Garrett’s new CD Beyond The Wall, which came about because of a 2005 visit to mainland China, inspired by Garrett’s longstanding interest in the nation’s culture and spirituality.
