Kirk Whalum shares stage with uncle, brother and cousin
JAZZMAN Kirk Whalum
played a concert in Glen Dale, Maryland recently where he shared the
stage with his 79 year old uncle Hugh 'Peanuts' Whalum. Also
performing at the concert was Kirk's brother, vocalist Kevin Whalum
and Kirk's cousin, a rapper who performs under the name Caleb Tha
Bridge.
I attended the concert. It was more than a concert...it was an EVENT!!! It was a worship service (KirK could not keep from preaching); it was a concert (amazing music! his gospel according to jazz series are his best works); it was a comedy venue (Johnny Solucumb had us crying with laughter); it was theatrical ( a young lady performed a one woman act that contrasted the acts of Eve vs Mary-Jesus's mother). Any one who could not be there really missed out because the only way that even will be experienced again will be via CD and DVD.
God bless your station. I love it!
