In The News: Kirk Whalum To Release Gospel According To Jazz III

Months and months ago, I told you guys that Kirk Whalum was getting ready to release the 3rd volume of his oh-so-incredible gospel jazz collection, The Gospel According To Jazz Chapter III.  Well, the time has come– look for it on March 16th.

I’m so excited, I kinda don’t know what to do with myself. LOL

I already featured volumes 1 and 2 as part of the Slept On series, telling you that Whalum featured phenomenal musicians like George Duke and Jonathan Butler, and superb vocalists like Kevin Whalum, Kim Burrell and Táta Vega.

Well, chapter 3 promises to be just as good, with great musicianship and vocals, AGAIN. I’m particularly excited about a reworking of the Luther Vandross hit “Make Me A Believer,” a duet between Kevin Whalum (saw him live a few weeks ago… he’s so gifted, it’s almost unfair) and the incomparable Lalah Hathaway.

Check out the full promo trailer for the album:

Get your pennies, nickels and dimes together, folks… you WANT this album!

Who’s buyin’???

    I really like Kirk's duet with Kim Burrell. Lala and Kevin are so AWESOME! Lala rocked in Chicago a few weeks ago for the Chicago Hope for Haiti benefit. I had never heard her live but that girl is good!

    Yes, yes, yes!!! I have been waiting on this one for a while since they have been playing "He's been just that good" on the radio forever and while visiting a friend in D.C in November, they played "make me a believer." I thought it had been released and I just couldn't find it. Shaking my bank and rolling my coins NOW!!! Gotta have it!!!

    This seems refreshing and exciting. I will be getting this project.

    Man, I have been WAITING for this project to drop ever since I attended the recording at Reid Temple. It's long overdue, but I'm not complaining. I've already got my order in just to make sure I get my copy. I can't wait to relive that concert because it was an amazing experience.

    My DVD is in the mail. Yipee! Does anyone know why this has taken so long to release? That trailer is at least 2 years old (I think).
