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. On his latest album, Epic Cool, he raises the bar once again, scaling up the hipness, vitality, soulfulness and vibes to a monumental new level.
“I'm still on this path trying to do something important,” Whalum insists. “At 65, I still feel very young. I feel like I have a mandate to be the very best version of myself and to push down some more doors.”
