*Kirk Whalum is probably one of the most inspiring figures in the world of contemporary Jazz and Gospel Jazz alike. He is on a devoted mission to live out the “Good News” around his fellow performers and before the world at-large, while accomplishing milestone after milestone within the Jazz industry.
Whalum’s appeal as a saxophonist, writer, arranger, producer and performing artist without question serves as a testimony of his unshakable heart–transcending the walls of the church and impacting a multitude of lives with a sense of transparency and unlimited spiritual power.
Kirk doesn’t mince words, but tells it like it is, keeping it real, so that it isn’t religion or even “the church” people experience, but rather the reality of a true-life relationship with the one and only Savior, Jesus Christ. As clearly as expressed and conveyed in his latest musical offering, The Gospel According to Jazz Chapter III , let’s now hear from Kirk Whalum in his own words in an interview JGC recently conducted with him and find out more about his life-changing music and convictions.
