Kermit Walker & The Jazz Prophets

Beginning at age 7 with piano lessons, drummer, composer, teacher, arranger and vocalist Kermit Walker became serious about drums at age 11. Kermit later gained acceptance and studied at two of jazz education's premier institutions: Berklee College of Music and Cleveland Institute of Music. Kermit excels in developing a musical conversation with band mates. His emphasis on interaction draws fellow musicians to him. Pianist Kevin Bales: "He plays for the feeling of the music at all times."
