Over the past two decades, saxophonist Walter Beasley has artfully and dynamically redefined the phrase "musical Renaissance Man" for the modern generation. Considered by fans and critics alike as "the heir to Grover Washington Jr.'s throne," the Boston-based musician has long mastered an exhilarating high wire act of balancing a successful career as a contemporary jazz recording artist and performer with an equally thriving presence in the field of music education.
Since 1998, Beasley has been one of the ten highest selling saxmen in the world while continuing his highly influential work as a full professor of music at his alma mater, The Berklee School of Music, where he began teaching in the mid-80s. In 2007, Beasley— also the highest selling full-time teacher ever—celebrated his 20th year as a best selling artist in the grand style to which he's accustomed, adding to his extraordinary total of over 800,000 units sold. His second Heads Up release, Ready For Love, peaked at #2 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart and reached #1 on Smoothjazz.com. 

THE SECOND HOUR OF THE SHOW

"Testimony: My Life Story " Do you know who Jean Baylor is? Does the name Zhane ring a bell? Yes that stylishly suave female dynamic duo that sprinkled the 90's Billboard Charts' with dance jams infused with soulful grooves like "Hey Mr. DJ", "Groove Thang", and "Sending My Love." Remember? She was the shorter of the two who wove her vocal end with that of siren-mate, Renee Neuville, to produce some of the hottest hits of day.
