Pushing the World Away

2013 release from the Grammy winning Jazz saxophonist. Pushing The World Away captures Garrett at the peak of his creative abilities, both as a saxophonist and as a composer. Garrett pays tribute to a number of his influences/friends and heroes that include Chick Corea, Chucho Vald‚s, Sonny Rollins and Garrett's musical confidant and album co-producer, Donald Brown (Brother Brown). In all, Pushing The World Away features 12 tunes, all of which were composed by Garrett except for one cover, a superb, lyrical, odd-metered take on the Burt Bacharach/Hal David song "I Say a Little Prayer".
