Kenny Garrett leads the late set at Blue Note. No accompanying lineup is announced.
The Detroit-born saxophonist, composer and bandleader has worked with Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw. The National Endowment for the Arts calls the Grammy-winning Garrett versatile across “jazz, blues, and R&B contexts”; DownBeat praised the “deep, joyous grooves” and freer improvisation on Sounds from the Ancestors.
Blue Note Jazz Club is a dedicated listening room in the heart of Manhattan's jazz district, where the music is the focus and the space is designed to let the sound fill the room. The club features a stage with a small audience area, and the atmosphere is one of quiet concentration on the music. Shows typically begin at 8:00 PM with a second set at 10:30 PM, and the audience sits on chairs close to the stage. The club has a bar, and drinks are available. The experience is primarily about listening to live jazz, with occasional gospel and soul performances, and the audience often stays to talk and enjoy the music after the sets.
