Walter Beasley is "Backatcha!" |
| Nov 05 2010 |
Between teaching full-time at the Berklee School of Music, and his hot music career, Walter Beasley is one of the busiest artists out there. But he shows no signs of slowing down, especially with the release of his new studio album, Backatcha! [Shanachie]. This project brings together Beasley’s talents as a saxophonist and a vocalist, kicking off with a cover of Bill Withers’ “Lovely Day.” Beasley also takes on Isaac Hayes’ “Ellie’s Theme” as well as The Five Stairsteps “Ooh Child.” There are plenty of original tracks to follow on the heels of his recent big hits, “Oh Yeah” and “Steady As She Goes” (named Billboard’s #1 smooth jazz Song of the Year for 2009). Beasley’s next live date is in Baltimore on Nov. 13.
