His/her father was saxophonist tenor. The career of Kenny Garret started when he united the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1978, then, directed by the son of Duke, Mercer Ellington. Three years later he played in the Mel Lewis Orchestra (interpreting the music of Thad Jones) and also in the Dannie Richmond Quartet (working more particularly on the compositions of Charles Mingus).

During its career, Kenny played with many artists of jazz like Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, McCoy Tyner, Pharoah Sanders, Brian Blade, Bobby Hutcherson, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones, Marcus Miller, Mulgrew Miller or Robben Ford.
