ROBERT WALTER

San Diego's Robert Walker is a searching and soulful piano and keyboard player. He's a composer of memorable songs in the funk/jazz vein. a band leader heading one of the hottest touring acts around today and a young, forward thinking musician with a deep and abiding respect for jazz's history and the formidable artists who created it. In 1993 he became founding member of the Greyboy Allstars. The band, fronted by saxophonist Karl Denson led the funk charge in the mid-1990s, touring incessantly throughout the U.S and Europe for five years before taking a break in 1998. Following the break-up, Robert Walter founded Robert Walter 20th Congress, who has released two albums: both are regarded as leading examples of the "new" sound in the resurgent popularity of jazz/funk. With the release of his new record, There Goes The Neighbourhood, Walter steps back and puts his own spin on the sound at the core of his influence.

Walter says There Goes The Neighbourhood is his "tribute to the great soul/jazz records of the 1960's". The albums recording process and song selection were designed with those records in mind. "Like most of the records from the 1960s, this album was recorded very quickly, over two days", says Walter. The choice of tunes on There Goes The Neighbourhood, both covers and originals, is also telling. "These songs are more connected to tradition than the stuff I do with 20th Congress," says Walter. "I wanted to bring out the blues element in my playing".

The accompanying musicians on There Goes The Neighbourhood are said to be the crème de la crème in jazz funk, past and present. Drummer Harvey Mason, who also composed a song for this release ('The Tease'), was the drummer on Herbie Hancock's Headhunters album. Saxophonist Red Holloway was a key member of the influential Jack McDuff Group of the mid-sixties that also featured a young George Benson. Bassist Chuck Rainey, who began his career with The Crusaders, a leading soul/jazz group of the 1970s. And the legendary guitarist Phil Upchurch turned out to be Walter's right hand man in the studio.

There Goes The Neighbourhood is out now on Premonition Records
