Warner Brothers, 1992 (that's almost a quarter-century ago for those of you with calendars). A nicely varied program with Kenny Kirkland, Charnet Moffett, & Brian Blade as constants, and some relevant guest appearances by Joe Henderson, Don Alias, Donald Brown, & Ricky Wellman.

Samples:

 

Myself, I think this is the most fully balanced record that Kenny Garrett has made, even now. He's not a harbinger of tomorrow, never was, but his is a distinctive, soulful voice that can speak in both "hardcore" and "populist" arenas. This record has enough of each to make it an easy listen as well as a stimulating one.

(IMO) Kenny Garrett didn't get caught in the "Young Lions" trap .... still he was - in his early leader dates - searching for a own style btw structure .... which made listening to these sometimes a sort of mixed experience - but not resultwise, he just missed some(one's) expectations .... which was not necessarily a bad thing ....
