Since his 1990 debut, All Because of You, saxophonist Kim Waters has defined the sound that's come to be known as urban jazz. Incorporating soul, modern R&B, and hip-hop rhythms into his playing both on his own and with his band Streetwize, Waters' blend of contemporary influences has proved to be a hit with audiences worldwide. With 14 number one jazz singles and four number one jazz albums to his credit, Waters remains a vital player in the genre.
