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
more than 25 albums under Whalum’s own name, including a Grammy-nominated
collaboration with pianist Bob James; his faith-and-soul melding Gospel
According to Jazz series; and a trio of albums with the supergroup BWB,
alongside guitarist Norman Brown and trumpeter Rick Braun.
That’s in addition to his work alongside everyone from the late Joey
DeFrancesco to such legends as Barbra Streisand, Quincy Jones, Al Jarreau, and
Larry Carlton.
Gates open at 1 pm. The concert ends at 5.30 pm. With Amanda Black and Wandile Mbambeni
