Garrett is an American jazz alto saxophonist known for his post-bop and hard bop style, heavily influenced by Charlie Parker and John Coltrane, yet distinctly his own. His music frequently incorporates elements of Afro-Cuban rhythms and a virtuosic, often intensely energetic improvisational approach. Throughout his career, he has released numerous critically acclaimed albums and collaborated with prominent figures in jazz such as Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, and Elvin Jones.

The Hollywood Bowl is a renowned outdoor amphitheater with a significant history in performing arts. Opened in 1922, it’s one of the largest amphitheaters in the United States, possessing a seating capacity of nearly 18,000. The venue is celebrated for its acoustics and iconic shell-shaped stage which underwent a major renovation completed in 2004. It has hosted a diverse range of performances spanning classical music, jazz, popular music concerts and film screenings with the Los Angeles Philharmonic as its primary resident orchestra.
