I went to see the Kenny Garrett Quartet at Yoshi’s – Oakland last night (02/08/2011). What a great concert! They came out on fire, so much so I couldn’t imagine how they could keep it up! During the 1:48 set, they performed the five songs plus a soprano/piano medley (which seemed to demonstrate we were indeed listening to the REAL Kenny G).

I can only imagine this is what it must have been like to see the John Coltrane Quartet (just a little before my time).

The best news? You too can watch and listen to this performance:
