Kennedy Administration ist die neueste Groove-Sensation aus New York. Das gemeinsame Projekt der von Vocal-Powerhouse Kennedy (die bereits mit Dee Dee Bridgewater, Terri Lyne Carrington oder Nate Smith zusammenarbeitete) und ihrem kongenialen musikalischen Mastermind Ondre P, seines Zeichens langjähriger musikalischer Partner von Gregory Porter. Seit 2015 mischt das Quintett mit ihrer mitreißend-poppigen Mischung aus Jazz, RnB, Hip-Hop und mehr die Bühnen von New York bis Jakarta auf. Sie eröffneten für Elton John, veröffentlichten zwei überaus erfolgreiche Alben und kollaborierten mit großen Namen der Musikszene. Freuen Sie sich auf ein Konzert mit wuchtigem Sound, brillanter Performance und mitreißendem Groove!
I believe Kennedy Administration is going to be the next big star on the music scene. - GREGORY PORTER.
With his illustrious career that includes hallmark stints with Miles Davis, Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers, Donald Byrd, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw and the Duke Ellington Orchestra, as well as a heralded career as a solo artist that began more than 30 years ago, Kenny Garrett is easily recognized as one of modern jazz’s brightest and most influential living masters. And with the marvelous Sounds From The Ancestors, the GRAMMY® Award-winning Garrett shows no signs of resting on his laurels.
Kenny Garrett’s latest release, Sounds From The Ancestors, is a multi-faceted album. The music, however, doesn’t lodge inside the tight confines of the jazz idiom, which is not surprising considering the alto saxophonist and composer acknowledges the likes of Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye as significant touchstones. Similar to how Miles Davis’ seminal LP, On the Corner, subverted its main guiding lights – James Brown, Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone – then crafted its own unique, polyrhythmic, groove-laden, improv-heavy universe, Sounds From The Ancestors occupies its own space with intellectual clarity, sonic ingenuity and emotional heft.
“Sounds from the Ancestors examines the roots of West African music in the framework of jazz, gospel, Motown, hip-hop, and all other genres that have descended from jùjú and Yoruban music,” explains Garrett. “It’s crucial to acknowledge the ancestral roots in the sounds we’ve inhabited under the aesthetics of Western music.”
