Artist of the Week Interview with Kirk Whalum - 11/21/19

This is a weekly feature on WFSK.  Our Artist of the Week spotlight featured Kirk Whalum on Thursday, 11-21-19.  Kirk has a new project out entitled "Humanite."  He hails from Memphis and is what I call "A Tennessee Treasure".  Grammy-award winner and multi-talented son of a preacher man, Kirk has a heart for the community and the Lord.  He's also an ordained minister and has made a series of gospel jazz projects as well.  

During this interview, we were joined by my friend Marion Meadows who came by the studio and we had a super time on this interview.  Those longtime friends and saxophonist have shared the stage together over the years.  Marion lives part time in Nashville and was dropping off his new release and to check in with yours truly.     Marion jus released 1st Christmas project is entitled "Christmas With You".
