WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"Perhaps it really is the case that certain aspects of our youth become more prominent the older we get. Miles Davis died at 65, Kenny Garrett is two years younger. Miles Davis is more present in his work than ever before, and even after a long apprenticeship he seems to be just at the beginning of his prime." – JAZZTHING

"Their duo work is bursting with allusions to recordings by Miles Davis and other masters of electrified jazz to hip-hop, techno, trance, and minimalism...an amazing mix of styles...Garrett and Svoy have certainly brewed an imaginative brew."  – Werner Stiefele  

"Clearly, Kenny Garrett is one of those geniuses who will continue to surprise us until the end of his life, leaving behind a body of work that will be studied in universities for a long time to come. That’s what happens when a work is meticulously crafted, thought out, and above all, remarkable."  – PARIS MOVE

"In this new release, the author of Happy People (2002) loses neither his eloquence nor his dexterity; but stands as a pathfinder, as a beacon and invites us to a new auditory disposition, to an adventure that takes us out of the usual comfort, to settle into a new learning. Isn't jazz a perpetual learning process that requires constant adaptation to all situations? Already part of the tradition of these few rare explorers and innovators, WHO KILLED AI? definitively installed Kenny Garrett in the role of a visionary, like Miles Davis." – TRIBUNE2L'ARTISTE

"I was extremely excited about this extraordinary duo. How does Kenny Garrett's laid-back bop, intoned on the saxophone and enriched with strong funk references, fit in with the electro-pop of multi-instrumentalist and producer Svoy? Except for the jazz standard 'NN Funny Valentine', Garrett holds the copyright for all other themes. Accompanied by electronic whirlwinds from Svoy's computer, the saxophonist recalls his mentor Miles Davis in 'Miles Running Down AI' for example. But the final track 'Convergence' with its grooving harmonic harmony is the absolute highlight of the session for me." – Gerd Filtgen, STEREO
