Songbook

For years Kenny Garrett's Sing a Song of Song has been one of my favorite songs. After buying the entire album, I am so upset that I didn't buy it earlier. This CD captures all of the unbelievable talent of Kenny Garrett. Each song is better and more emotional than the last. This is my favorite jazz album.

Kenny Garrett is a young master of the alto saxophone and every style in the Jazz idiom. He swings hard and never lets up.This album also has Kenny Kirkland, another young master of his instrument who died all too soon but fortunately there is a musical record of his craftsmanship. This CD is one fine example of his garganuan talent. "Listen to Kenny Kirkland's killer solo on "Wooden", a tribute to Woody Shaw. It can be described in one word - awesome. "Sing a Song of Song" is beautiful piece with an Oriental feel. It is a celebration of music. It conjures up thoughts of a happy village in the midst of a celebration. Garrett wrenches every piece of emotion out of it by the end of the piece. "Brother Hubbard" is a tribute to the late great trumpet virtuoso, Freddie Hubbard. Freddie's essence is captured with this soulful grove piece.This is an excellent set from an excellent band. Buy this CD immediately if not sooner!!!
