Editorial Reviews

Throughout his illustrious career, saxophonist/multi-instrumentalist/composer Kenny Garrett has accumulated multiple Grammy® nominations, countless collaborations, and a long list of accolades from his peers. With Sketches of MD, Garrett adds several historic firsts to his résumé: the first live recording of the Kenny Garrett/Pharoah Sanders pairing, Garretts' first recorded set at New York City's famed Iridium Jazz Club, and his first release on Mack Avenue. In addition to Sanders, Garrett is joined on stage by Nat Reeves on bass, Benito Gonzalez on keys and Jamire Williams on drums

reminiscent of John Coltrane and great saxophones of the past

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

The first three songs are the strongest, reminiscent of John Coltrane and great saxophones of the past. The last song, especially, involves a crowd sing-along and veers toward straight pop music, so may be something one experiences (in a participatory manner) best at a live performance of Mr. Garrett, whom we've recently seen.

'Beyond the Wall' meets... funk?

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2008

I have been a fan of Kenny Garrett for a while now, and I figured that this would be a spiritual successor to his last album, "Beyond the Wall", which was a very solid release (particularly the last cut, "May Peace be Upon Them" which is just killer). Sure, the rhythm section is completely different than on "Beyond the Wall" but it features Pharoah Sanders as 'Wall' did, so I assumed that it would be very much along the lines of that last effort. The first track, "The Ring", was in keeping with my expectations, but slowly after that it diverged farther and farther from what I expected. I found myself listening what seemed to be a sort of funk inspired album in the last few tracks, which was unexpected, not necessarily bad, but unexpected.

I found myself surprised upon hearing in "Wayne's Thang", a song from an earlier album of his ('Triology', if your interested) some synthesized jazz organ. Even more surprised upon hearing Kenny playing through an electrified setup, putting a bit of echo and wah-wah effects on his saxophone. I was also surprised on how much Sanders was allowed to open up. Famous to many as the add on to the late John Coltrane quartet, Sanders has a unique ability to make his saxophone wail and scream in ways that most musicians can't emulate and most listeners can't listen to. On 'Wall', he was subdued, to say the least, almost shockingly tasteful. Here, he is given much more room to go crazy. Here I found it significantly more palatable than with his work with Trane, and indeed sometimes very interesting. That having been said, if you don't at the very least find multiphonics and split reed stuff interesting, you may want to give this one a listen before you buy.

Now, this was not a bad album by any stretch, really, those two shocks to the system aside, it is quite enjoyable. "Intro to Africa" is a favorite of mine, with just a really great, deep groove, as is the closing track "Happy People", which is, as the name might imply, truly exuberant, with Kenny getting the audience to sing along and, I assume, probably dance as well. His ne rhythm section is great as well. The drummer, Jamire Williams, is particularly impressive with some really fun double bass drum hits that can really throw you if you're not ready for them.

All in all, a very solid work, but some may want to be careful of Sanders, as he is something of a controversial figure.

Best Live Recording in Jazz History?

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2014

That's a lofty statement to make, but this might actually be the case! This CD is so full of atmosphere and so sultry and soulful words to describe it almost defy me! This Cd is a MUST have for fans of Kenny Garrett and Jazz Lovers of Jazz Saxophone! This is intense from the very first note to the very last! 5 Stars all the way!

Sketches of MD Live at the Iridium - A bit of a sketchy album !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2008

Verified Purchase

This album recorded live at the iridium in New York offers the best and worst of Kenny garrett.I arrived at the overall 3 star marking as follows -

1) The Ring - An intense spiritual piece based around a simple repeating theme with both Garrett and special guest Pharoah Sanders blowing fierce solos comprising of short intense bursts of sound.Quality stuff. ***** rating.

2) Intro to Africa - a more deeply spiritual piece than track one with Sanders blowing a less intense,more thoughtful and lyrical solo than on the previous piece.**** rating.

3) Sketches of MD - Pointless ode to the great Miles Davis with a repetitive groove that really leads nowhere with the soloists just noodling with distorted horn/synth sounds without any real structure.
* rating.

4) Wayne's thang - Is a lively almost hip hoppish piece with smooth synth sounds and echoey sax solos with the great Pharoah Sanders getting down and dirty with a real honking sqeaking solo.Worth hearing for Pharoah's solo alone.
*** rating.

5) Happy people - Although it has a nice melody anybody who has seen Garrett live knows that this one can go on forever with chorus after chorus after chorus (just as it does here)and can get pretty annoying in the end.rating **.

There you have it - the best and worst of kenny Garrett all on one cd.After a few plays this one had me reaching for a quality Garrett album such as "Beyond the wall" or "songbook". Garrett is really at his best when he gets down to some serious blowing.An album with everything from Spirituals to hip hop and funk takes an open minded listener to enjoy it and in my opinion is just too varied for a single session.

Hurrikan

Reviewed in Germany on November 16, 2008

Verified Purchase

Wie ein Hurrikan fegten Kenny Garrett, altosax, und seine Mitspieler Pharao Sanders tenorsax, Nat Reeves bass, Benito Gonzales piano und Jamire Williams drums, durchs New Yorker Iridium, dass mit Sicherheit dem einen oder anderen Besucher der Atem stockte. Genauso wie es mir ergeht, während ich zum wiederholten Male dieses Meisterwerk durchhöre. Das nötigte sogar die konservative <Washington Post> zu einer für ihre Maßen überwältigenden Kritik. Das Zusammenspiel aller Musiker ist schlicht meisterhaft und Kenny und Pharao blasen, als ginge es um ihr Leben. Meiner Meinung nach nicht nur eines der überragensten Alben des Jahres, sonder nicht weniger als ein Meilenstein des Jazz.
