About
Kenny Garrett's alto sax solo opens the improvised portion of this recording, followed by Joe Henderson on tenor sax. Spanning three choruses of the 32-bar AA' form at a bright 270 BPM with a swing feel in E, the solo runs approximately 1:25. Black Hope represented a creative high point for Garrett, showcasing his growth as both a composer and improviser during a period when he was emerging as one of the leading alto saxophonists in jazz. "Tacit Dance" opens Kenny Garrett's 1992 album Black Hope with a statement of intent, pairing the alto saxophonist with tenor giant Joe Henderson in one of the most formidable saxophone summits of the era. Kenny Garrett was 31 to 32 years old at the time of this 1992 recording.
