GRAMMY® Award-Winner & 12x-GRAMMY® Award Nominated Jazz Saxophonist, Composer & Bandleader KIRK WHALUM's music is usually described as soulful, passionate & stirring. Prior to his solo career, Kirk became an in demand session player for top artists like Barbara Streisand, Al Jarreau, Luther Vandross, Larry Carlton, Quincy Jones & most notably, Whitney Houston, amongst many others. Kirk toured with Whitney Houston for more than 7 years and it's his sax heard on the mega-hit, "I Will Always Love You", the best-selling single by a female artist in music history! Kirk soon followed that career high point with his phenomenal hit album on Warner Bros. Records, 'For You', perhaps the most successful of over 25 solo recordings to date.
