The legendary Kenny Garrett is set to take the stage at the Jazz à Porquerolles festival for a electrifying performance! The legendary collaborator of Miles Davis and Art Blakey will be sharing the passion of his album *Sound From the Ancestors* with the audience.

Honoured with the title of NEA Jazz Master in 2023 and winner of a Grammy Award in 2010, Kenny Garrett is one of the leading figures in contemporary jazz, and undoubtedly one of the finest saxophonists working today. Over a career spanning more than thirty years, the American has carved out a unique path for himself, becoming one of the great ambassadors of African-American music.

On stage, Kenny Garrett’s music is transformed into a ritual where the roots of modern jazz merge with the raw energy of gospel, Detroit soul and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. This is particularly true of *Sound From the Ancestors*, a project in which the musician pays homage to Coltrane, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and others…

Accompanied by a top-class quintet (comprising Rudy Bird, Melvis Santa, Keith Brown and Ronald Bruner), the virtuoso saxophonist captivates the audience, blending technical precision with a festive sense of urgency.
