Dallas
guitarist Michael Walker releases new CD entitled “A Smoother You” on Spectra
Music Group. The CD is
co-produced and written by Quentin Moore (also of Dallas, Texas), and exhibits
a style that infuses Smooth Jazz and “Southern Soul”. Walker began his musical
career as a blues guitarist influenced by the legendary B.B. King.
During the
year 2000, he switched to R&B and became leader of a local cover band known
as“Chill Factor” playing mostly throughout Texas and Tennessee. After 12 years
with the group, he turned his interests towards Smooth Jazz, leaving the band
to create the “A Smoother You” project. After sending a few preview tracks to
producer/guitarist Paul Brown, Michael forged ahead with his project and has
recently released his latest CD in available world wide in stores and online.
In addition
to production, writing, and guitar skills, Michael enlists Drummer Kenny
Washington II, Quentin Moore (Keyboards, Wah Wah guitar, Bass & Vocals),
John Robinson (Bass), Vandell Andrew (Alto Sax), Dunye Nasuhoglu (Congas,
