Garrett Saracho is a Los Angeles-based pianist, marimbist, composer, and arranger. He is best known as a jazzman whose En Media (recorded as Gary rather than Garrett), a lone 1973 Ed Michel-produced Impulse album, won a five-star rating from Downbeat and received considerable airplay. He later traveled to Africa and Europe, then toured with Redbone -- his cousins' group. He worked as a carpenter on film sets while learning to edit and write cinematic screenplays and musical theater. Since the '80s he has worked on North Broadway, an epic musical retelling the triumphs and struggles of generations of Mexican-Americans. In 2021, Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad invited Saracho and a full band -- including an army of brass and reed players -- into their Linear Labs Studio. They emerged with Garret Saracho JID015 in November 2022.
