ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Kenny Garrett’s music transcends traditional jazz, blending influences from gospel, Motown, hip-hop, and the rhythmic heartbeat of West African sounds. His latest project, Sounds From the Ancestors, is a powerful reflection of his Detroit roots and his global musical influences.

With a career spanning over 30 years, Garrett has worked alongside jazz legends including Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, and the Duke Ellington Orchestra. His performances are nothing short of a sonic storm.

A force in contemporary jazz, Grammy-nominated saxophonist Tia Fuller has captivated audiences worldwide. Best known for her work with Beyoncé, her White House performance for President Barack Obama, and her role as the saxophonist behind Dorothea Williams in Pixar’s Soul, Fuller is a true trailblazer in jazz and beyond.

Her 2019 album, Diamond Cut, earned a Grammy nomination, and she continues to inspire young musicians worldwide. Tia Fuller’s artistry brings a perfect balance of virtuosity, groove, and storytelling to the stage.
