Rendezvous Music
Most artists would be daunted at the thought of remaking a classic work of art made by legends, but not Grammy® winner Kirk Whalum. The multidimensional saxophonist adeptly steps into the role of John Coltrane and tapped his brother, vocalist Kevin Whalum, to fill the shoes of Johnny Hartman on an unabashedly romantic collection of duets originally recorded in 1963 by the seminal artists.

Are you ready to fonk?
After a stellar career that produced eight top-selling jazz CDs and one gospel project, prepare yourself for a different side of Wayman Tisdale—one that was 12 years in the making!
An album bursting with hope, joy, romance and inspiration, including eleven songs penned or co-penned by Jonathan himself.
Kirk Whalum
The Gospel According to Jazz, Chapter III, in all its breath and breadth, plaintive wailing saxophones, deep and rich harmonies, sensual romance, delightful humor, artful space, and awesome beauty tells Kirk Whalum's story in a way no other music can.
This DVD is a wonderful blend of the live performances of the songs contained on the CD and moments with Kirk Whalum, in various settings talking about the history of the relationship of people's music to the church.
Co-produced by Erin Davis (son of Miles) and Kyle’s long term writing partner Michael Stevens, the new album is set to capture the attention of the jazz world with its forward thinking style and stars which represent the cream of today’s jazz musicians followed by a worldwide tour in late 2009.
