'That Special Touch', the current album from sophisticated saxophonist Kim Waters is a ten-track tour de force that has just spawned the title track as the latest single to be serviced to radio. A standout in its own right this is a number that is special in more ways than one. Kim’s daughter Kayla Waters joins him to play keys on what proves to be a sublime duet. Of course Kayla is on her own fast track to smooth jazz stardom and having released the albums ‘Apogee’ and ‘Coevolve’ she has most recently signed with the Shanachie Entertainment label from where her latest long player ‘Presence’ is set for release July 7.
As for 'That Special Touch' eight original compositions sit hand in glove with two tasty covers the first being a spine tingling rendition of the Adele blockbuster ‘Easy On Me’. Waters, aided and abetted by the soulful vocals of Raynard Gibson, also reimagines Joe’s ‘If I Were Your Man’ to spectacular effect and all things considered this looks like an album that will stay hot for some time to come.
