Kim Waters Works 'Love' Into Title For Third Time in a Row

Saxophonist Kim Waters has just finished his 15th solo album, All For Love. It follows Kim’s In the Name of Love from last year, which itself followed Someone to Love You. That makes the new CD the third in a row with Love in the title. Just in case you want to know.

The upcoming CD
features nine original songs, including one called “Dream Machine” that was written by guitarist Chuck Loeb. The one cover tune is Aretha Franklin’s “Day Dreaming,” which features lead vocals by Incognito singer Maysa and backing vocals by Vanessa Williams (not the actress/singer) and Lori Williams. Among other titles: “She’s My Baby,” “Hot Tub,” “Happy Feeling” and “Good to Go.”

Now you have a good idea of where this CD is heading.

Kim's smooth jazz hits the spot for the most part, but let's hope he gets his chance to stretch his chops soon. If you've ever seen him perform, you know this guy can play some hot jazz. Just saying it might be good to mix some of that in with his smooth jazz stuff.

All For Love will be released by Shanachie on Sept. 20.
