“I hope that the music continues to grow and that we keep young guys interested and keep this music alive,” concludes Kim Waters. “I applaud some of my friends like George Benson, Herbie Hancock, and the late Quincy Jones, who always evolved with the times. Like them, I want to stay relevant and at the same time true to my roots.” Waters, who is the epitome of cool, not only manages to sound cool but he manages to live a Zen life. “Throughout my life, I think the thing that has kept me balanced is that I have never gotten caught up in what people are saying and I have never tried to be a part of the in crowd, “reflects the saxophonist, who cites his love of landscaping as one of his therapeutics outlets. “I have just stuck to being and believing in myself. My philosophy is the saying ‘it is what it is.’ Everything happens for a reason, and you must keep going with the flow and make the best of life.”
