For three decades, Waters has reigned as one of the premier architects of Urban Smooth Jazz and a beacon of light in Contemporary Jazz.

Kim Waters’ instantly recognizable sound has found the perfect equilibrium between sensitivity and brawn, intellect and emotion, and technique and soulfulness. He's garnered praise from critics and fans alike, ranking among the top five best-selling instrumentalists in jazz. “New music continues to come out, which gives the world something to lift them up and share with family and friends,” Waters states. His new and 24th recording as a leader, Shakedown, offers a thrilling ten-track escape meant to catapult us to a happier frequency. On Shakedown, the suave, debonair, and commanding saxophonist’s ability to transcend the musical boundaries of jazz, pop, and R&B have made him one of the most sought-after musicians in Contemporary Jazz.
