出生在曼菲斯的萨克斯风手Kirk Whalum从父亲的教堂唱诗班中伴奏出身，由于曼菲斯地处多方音乐的交会区，所以Whalum也曾尝试过不同风格，福音、节奏与蓝调到三角洲蓝调，最后终于选择爵士。德州南方大学求学时代，Whalum开始组团并在当地夜总会表演。1984年为钢琴手Bob James的开场同时开启他职业表演生涯，James不仅邀他在专辑中伴奏，Whalum也寻得一纸合约，出版个人专辑，八○年代的几张个人专辑都是请到Bob James担任制作人。进入九十年代，Whalum继续为Columbia唱片效力，另一方面也担任录音室乐手，参与过艺人包括惠妮．休斯顿、娃娃脸、芭芭拉．史翠珊…的专辑录制，直到与Bob James对弹的《Joined At The Hip》才让Whalum知名度大开，这张专辑曾获葛莱美奖提名，同时Whalum转投Warner Brothers旗下，事业又是另一番新气象。[转]
