Classically trained pianist Kayla Waters is the daughter of highly acclaimed saxophonist Kim. Her debut ‘Apogee’ is a fine set of Smooth Jazz grooves. Her piano playing is crisp and melodious and the album contains some excellent smooth grooves. Tunes like ‘I Am’ and ‘Apogee’ are infectious, silky and immaculately played. The floating ‘Sunkissed’ has a summer vibe, whilst ‘Freedom March’ has a driving upbeat sound. She sings on several tunes such as ‘Heaven I Here’ and ‘The Dream’. She possesses a nice voice that has a relaxed beauty to it. She wrote all the tunes and co-produced this strong debut with her father. Recommended.
