Hello Kirk. I'm sure you won't see this but my experience with you began in Houston 1980 at Steak and Ale and you guys were just starting. Todd Rick the Judge. Then Cody's, then the Roof. Several years later I saw you again at Baxters in Austin and I still remember when I walked in you bowed to me in the middle of a solo. Great times. Then another time at a private party we played ping pong at a house on Lake Travis. Saw you again at the Paramount with you and Larry Carlton. Every time I saw you and I asked you to sign something you always said God Loves You. I have the albums and pictures and cherish the moments. You are such a great musician. Oh yea I forgot the time I saw you at the Texas Union Center and you showed me some jewelry. A saxophone with 3 rubys. And you said Ruby Ruby Ruby. A song you wrote for your wife. I miss seeing you. Great interview. Take care and I hope you get this comment.
What a great Interview. Great Questions from you and great Answers and Information from one of my Sax Heroes. He is such a wonderful awesome Player and human being. His Sound is everything .
Kirk Whalum is one of those who made me fall in love with the Tenor sax. He has a big, bold, smooth, and vibrant sound. He can adjust his sound to any genre of music. I had to find out the sax he played and bought a Keilwerth Tenor. Although Kirk Whalum now plays the P. Mauriat, I still enjoy listening to his albums.
