Last month saw the release of Get Thy Bearings, Robert Walter’s fourth record with the 20th Congress, and the groups first record together in a decade. A soul jazz vet, founding member of the Greyboy Allstars and Hammond B3 wunderkind, Walter has gigged with everyone from Gary Bartz, Fred Wesley and Andy Bey, to contemporaries Skerik, and Stanton Moore. I’ve personally seen Walter in action, in one form or another, twenty some odd times. His versatility never disappoints, as reflected in this week’s installment of The Lagniappe Sessions.
