New Kickstarter Project! JD Walter's 7th CD produced/co-produced by Orrin Evans and Eric Revis!

Happy Summer to everyone! Wow - I haven't featured a Kickstarter Project since the begining of 2012. That's not acceptable. Here's a little background information on this latest project that has caught my attention...

Vocalist JD Walter's artistry was a delightful discovery for me in 2007. Orrin Evans, the producer of this new project, is on my short list of favorite pianists and composers. They are both members of one of the more underappreciated jazz groups around, Philly-based LuvPark. Check out their eclectic 2005 CD LuvPark on Imani Records.

An album featuring JD Walter, Eric Revis, Orrin Evans and Nasheet Waits?  I cannot wait to hear the CD! With our monetary support, I know that this fundraiser will be successful - check out the video below for more information:
