Kenny Garrett Quintet Featuring Woody Shaw - Introducing Kenny Garrett (1985) CD Rip

personnel :

Kenny Garrett - alto saxophone
Woody Shaw - trumpet, flugelhorn
Mulgrew Miller - piano
Nat Reeves - bass
Tony Reedus - drums

At the time he recorded this set, altoist Kenny Garrett was 24, had played with Mercer Ellington's big band, and was freelancing in New York. (His association with Miles Davis would not begin for a few more years.) A measure of the strong reputation Garrett already had is that his sidemen include trumpeter Woody Shaw and pianist Mulgrew Miller; bassist Nat Reeves and drummer Tony Reedus complete the quintet. The group performs five of the altoist's hard bop originals, Miller's "Blues In the Afternoon," and a couple of standards. A strong start to what would be a significant career.~ Scott Yanow
