Kenny Garrett live in New York

Experience Kenny Garrett live on August 6th

Kenny Garrett is scheduled to perform at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City on August 6, 2026. Garrett is an American jazz alto saxophonist and composer known for his post-bop playing, deeply influenced by John Coltrane and Charlie Parker, yet possessing a distinctive, intensely lyrical style. His music frequently incorporates elements of Afro-Caribbean rhythms and harmonic complexity, often exploring spiritual and emotional themes. He rose to prominence as a member of Miles Davis’s band during the late 1980s and early 1990s, contributing significantly to Davis’s later work. Throughout his prolific career, Garrett has released numerous critically acclaimed albums as a leader.

The Blue Note Jazz Club, located in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, has been a cornerstone of the New York City jazz scene since its founding in 1981. However, its history extends further back; a previous iteration of a club named Blue Note operated from 1939 to 1966 at a different location. The current venue is renowned for its intimate atmosphere and consistent presentation of both established jazz masters and emerging artists.
