There are few artists on the jazz circuit who are cannier at mixing the raw energy of John Coltrane with audience-friendly grooves than Kenny Garrett, the former Miles Davis alto saxophonist. This live set catches the incandescent quality of a typical Garrett gig, particularly in the infectious wind-up of the audience on the jubilantly funky Happy People finale he always uses. And a guest appearance by Coltrane's one-time partner and R&B/soul-sax legend Pharoah Sanders is a bonus. But this is an album more calculated to appeal to Garrett's jazz-lite audience, since there are long stretches devoted to the groove, with only the occasional funky horn or keyboard hook. Garrett is fiercely effective on the anthemically Coltraneish opener, and his initially deliberate but eventually tumultuous solo contrasts well with Sanders' more sparing approach. But the David Sanborn-like Intro to Africa barely stretches either of them. Nor does the title track, despite an atmospherically drifting theme, or the Crusaders-like Wayne's Thang. It's good party music, but the kind of spontaneous turns that make you jump are rare.
