Kenny Garrett is one of my favorite Alto saxophone players. He was born in Detroit, in 1960 and started to play saxophone in his childhood since his father also played tenor sax. Kenny Garrett’s career as a saxophonist started early at the age of 17 with a saxophone spot in Mercer Ellington’s revived Ellington Orchestra.

Andy Gatson was always a difficult child, happy but easily frustrated. His emotional issues began to escalate as he grew into adolescence. His mother Joyce soon took notice and attempted to take action. “Gatson suspected that her son was depressed, but a counselor who saw him at 16 called it typical adolescent angst, and a psychiatrist who saw him a few years later prescribed a muscle relaxer and medication for his ulcer” (Reinhart).

Well-known for her detailed works about life in the frontier like, ‘O Pioneer’ or ‘The Song of Lark’, Willa Cather thrives in illustrating Nebraskan life in her novels. Arguably one of her best works, is the novel ‘My Antonia’ published in 1918 (Jewell).
