KIM WATERS

For years Waters was a staple on R & B radio stations, but when the stations began to phase out instrumental music he welcomed a musical challenge. After eight R & B-flavored albums on Warlock Records he signed with Shanachie and set about developing a new mode of expression. Working with several top producers including his labelmate, guitarist Chuck Loeb, and composer/producer Dave Mann, Kim Waters has created a new sound that builds on his roots. Waters, who'd previously composed, performed and produced his previous eight albums on his own, welcomed the chance to share creative ideas. "It was great," says the soft-spoken artist, "because I had a chance to really breathe and have input from other people." Waters says one day he'd like to record a straightahead jazz album, and certainly that side of his playing is very much in evidence in his live performances. But for now he's very excited by the creative possibilities opening up for him. There's no doubt that this inspired young artist will continue his musical explorations in unique and innovative ways for many years to come.
