Kenny Garrett live in New York

Experience Kenny Garrett live on February 21st

Kenny Garrett is scheduled to perform at Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City on February 21, 2027. Garrett is an American alto saxophonist and composer known for his post-bop and hard bop influenced style, deeply rooted in the tradition of Charlie Parker and John Coltrane, but incorporating elements of funk, Latin rhythms, and contemporary jazz harmony. His playing is characterized by virtuosic technique, melodic improvisation, and a distinctly lyrical tone. He gained prominence as a member of Miles Davis’s band in the early 1980s and has since established a prolific solo career with numerous critically acclaimed albums.

Blue Note Jazz Club first opened in Greenwich Village in 1981, though it carries the legacy of a prior Blue Note club operating from 1939-1986. The current venue quickly became renowned as a premier destination for both established jazz musicians and emerging talent. Historically, the original Blue Note was significant for hosting legendary performers like Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, and Sarah Vaughan; photographic documentation of these performances remains central to the club's identity.
