An
R&B-ish player whose music sometimes crosses over into jazz. Walter
Beasley's sound is a bit derivative but he is a truly talented musician.
After briefly playing trumpet, Beasley switched to saxophone when
he was nine and was soon inspired by Grover Washington, Jr. He attended
Berklee College and, after graduating at age 22, became one of the
school's teachers. In 1987, Beasley released his first self-titled
album and since then has recorded two sets for Mercury, one for Polydor
and one for Shanachie, in addition to often accompanying R&B singers.
Early 2007 he released Ready for love. |
