Kenny Garrett is the one of the most consistently scintillating and inspiring saxophone force in the genre. The multi-Grammy nominee delivers galvanizing and forceful work, digging deeper into composing while bringing vibrancy to his performances. Garrett’s music is roll up your sleeves, hard bop blowing of rippling melodic songs.
Formed in 1987, New York Voices is the Grammy Award winning vocal ensemble renowned for their excellence in jazz and the art of group singing. Like the great groups that have come before, such as Manhattan Transfer and Take 6, they have learned from the best and taken the art form to new levels. Their interests are rooted in jazz, but often Brazilian, R&B, classical, and pop influences are included.
Led by CNU Professor Bill Brown and Dr. Lauren Fowler, the Kenny Garrett Quartet and New York Voices will be joined on stage by Christopher Newport University’s award-winning Jazz Ensembles.
