Description
Over a four-decade career, there’s not a lot Amos Garrett hasn’t done. As one of the most distinctive guitar players since the Telecaster was invented, he’s made almost a dozen albums of his own, most of them for the Edmonton-based label Stony Plain. He’s appeared on more than 150 artists’ recordings, and he’s played rock and roll, folk and pop. Not to mention just about every other kind of roots music there is, from blues to country. But, until now, he’s never recorded a jazz album. The Amos Garrett Jazz Trio’s debut album includes pieces by Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Freddie Hubbard, all modern jazz players who were steeped in the blues.
