"the Henry Thoreau of jazz" - Jazziz magazine ........................KIT WALKER: Freehouse......acoustic/electric third stream world jazz.......................... ..Listener Review from iTunes about the album "Freehouse".. .... Strong Album ***** (five stars).. .... "All of Kit's stuff is good. His sound is a tight fusion of rock and jazz....with a pinch of the Far East thrown in. His music is a major part of the soundtrack of my life. That's not just me reaching for hyperbole. Listening to Global Warning takes me to an intense place that's equal parts focus and calm. How this guy hasn't blown up to Metheny/Vital Information/Weather Report dimensions is beyond me. If you can find them: Dancing On the Edge of the World and Fire in the Lake are albums of his early work. The sound would be as fresh if released now. " .. by BENGALTYGER .. NEW CD! "SKY BLUE DOOR" contemplative neo-classical soundtrack music .... ...... ......

Dear Friends,
After years of working on the East-West thing, I am really happy to announce the release of my new CD recording project, Silk Road Blues, on a great label, Flowfish Records. This music explores the possibilities of Afghan rebab with piano and jazz. Three pieces are up on my profile right now. I'd be grateful to hear some feedback from you.
Best wishes, Larry - Mariana2 years ago
