Blue Pyramid Productions, Towne Bank and Sentara Healthcare Celebrates the Opening Night of the 2025 Church Street Jazz Series Saturday Night, January 4, 8pm at The Historic Attucks Theatre, 1010 Church Street in Downtown Norfolk. Kick Off the New Year with World-Renowned Award-Winning Saxophonist Kim Waters, along with his daughter, recording Artist and Chart-Topping Keyboardist Kayla Waters Live In Concert! 

With a career that has spanned close to four decades, the indefatigable Kim Waters is still inspired. “I have been recording for 35 years and I love it. It's my passion and it is all that I've ever done. There are so many great young guns coming along that I have to stay at the top of my game! I am blessed that I was trained on the straight-ahead side of things which gave me a great foundation.” Waters’ keen harmonic sense, tasteful and soulful phrasing, and fluid melodic sensibilities have made him one the premiere architects of Contemporary Jazz.

Kayla Waters, a pianist, singer, and composer, is a dynamic, classically-trained, crossover jazz performer. After signing a new record deal with Shanachie Records, Kayla victoriously releases her brand new musical offering Presence, a life-giving creative work alluding to the beauty of the ocean and God's abundant love. Beautifully composed and eloquently written, Presence is a stunning addition to her repertoire following albums Coevolve and Apogee. As a five-time Billboard and Mediabase number one artist {I Am, Zephyr, Full Bloom, Open Portals, and Undulation}, Kayla made history by becoming the first female pianist to reign atop the charts for six consecutive weeks.
