Garnett is now considered one of jazz's most incendiary tenor saxophonists. Taking his Coltrane influences & mixing them with the experience gained from playing the likes of Miles Davis, Pharoah Sanders & Art Blakey, he sprinkles his sound with the fiery Latin rhythms of his native Panama. For this, his Savant debut, he has assembled a Inchlittle big bandInch that roars, purrs, soars & sails through nine sizzling tracks. He pays tribute to Coltrane, Clifford Brown & his Latin heritage. Album Tracks 1. Moon Shadow 2. Giant Steps 3. Delilah 4. Manha de Carnaval 5. McCoy Next Block 6. The Shadow of Your Smile 7. My Favorite Things 8. Salsa Blue 9. Softly As in a Morning Sunrise
