Whalum Kirk

The breadth and depth of Kirk Whalum's Everything Is Everything: The Music Of Donny Hathaway on Rendezvous Music/Mack Avenue Records reflects everything he has been and is as an artist, and bumps it up a notch for a breathtaking, beautiful and breakthrough excursion.

With his second holiday-themed album, GRAMMY(c) Award-winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum asks How Does Christmas Sound? by finding a more spiritual and introspective sound for Christmas that immediately brings the listener to peace and ready to celebrate the season. More than just another merry round of caroling, the album offers a moment of soul-searching for Christmas revelers and a balm for those whose holidays don't shine as brightly.

Saxophone icon Kirk Whalum blasts off with his highly-anticipated new album Epic Cool, an electrifying collection of original grooves. Teaming up with producer Greg Manning (Keb' Mo', Herb Alpert, 2x GRAMMY(c) nominee, composer/collaborator on 10 #1 Billboard hits), Whalum focuses on his songwriting to craft an album that's passionate and spirited on a monumental scale, but with his trademark soul. From danceable hits like "Bah-De-Yah!" to melodic, sultry jams (Whalum calls "Pillow Talk" the strongest song he's written in 20 years), Epic Cool weaves a musical story that has wide, cross-genre appeal. Get ready to groove, because Epic Cool is anything but ordinary.
