Event Description
Jazz N Soul Music & SoundVizion LLC presents legendary Saxophonist Kim Waters, Sunday, May 12 for two shows: One Night Only!
Heralded as “simply one of the planet’s best saxophonists” by JazzTimes Magazine and the “pied piper of Smooth Jazz” by Upscale Magazine, the prolific chart-topping saxophonist, composer, and producer has enjoyed a career longevity that is rare in the music business. For three decades, Waters has reigned as one of the premier architects of Urban Smooth Jazz and a beacon of light in Contemporary Jazz.
Kim Waters’ instantly recognizable sound has found the perfect equilibrium between sensitivity and brawn, intellect and emotion, and technique and soulfulness. He's garnered praise from critics and fans alike, ranking among the top five best-selling instrumentalists in jazz. “New music continues to come out, which gives the world something to lift them up and share with family and friends,” Waters states. His new and 24th recording as a leader, Shakedown, offers a thrilling ten-track escape meant to catapult us to a happier frequency. On Shakedown, the suave, debonair, and commanding saxophonist’s ability to transcend the musical boundaries of jazz, pop, and R&B have made him one of the most sought-after musicians in Contemporary Jazz.
Kim Waters has been called on to perform with or open shows for the best, including Al Green, Isaac Hayes, Phyllis Hyman, Teddy Riley and Guy, and Gerald Albright to name a few. Through the years, Kim Waters has recorded a string of successful and chart-topping albums on Shanachie: Love’s Melody (1998), One Special Moment (1999), From The Heart (2001), Someone To Love You (2002), In the Name of Love(2004), All For Love (2005), You Are My Lady (2007), I Want You: Love in the Spirit of Marvin (2008), Love Stories (2010), This Heart of Mine (2011), Rhythm and Romance (2016), and What I Like (2018).
