An Evening With Kirk Whalum
For nearly four decades, Grammy® Award-winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum has helped to define “cool,” whether blazing trails in contemporary jazz or infusing hits by Luther Vandross or Whitney Houston with an extra jolt of soul.
Few have ascended to such heights in the jazz or R&B worlds, but Whalum is not one to simply relax and enjoy his lofty perch. That life encompasses over 25 albums under Whalum’s name, including a Grammy-nominated collaboration with pianist Bob James and a trio of albums with the supergroup BWB.
