Meet rising jazz star Kenneth Whalum, III. While currently making a splash on the New York jazz circuit, Kenneth is clearly no stranger to music or its business. He attributes a great deal of his musical ability to his uncle, 8-time GRAMMY nominated saxophonist and recording artist, Kirk Whalum. He also cites his great uncle Hugh “Peanuts” Whalum, who has played with the legendary Lionel Hampton and Miles Davis, as a major contributor to his development.

As a brilliant composer, arranger, bandleader, and tenor saxophonist, Whalum is excited to release his highly anticipated album, To Those Who Believe. He’s been working quite hard on making sure that the project is right and ready for release on iTunes next week, December 21st.
