His three highly successful albums for Atlantic Records garnered critical acclaim and were embraced by a wide spectrum of Jazz fans.

1ST AVE. STAGE:
5PM: The Morning Kings
7PM: CHARLES WALKER BAND
Grounded in soul, the Charles Walker Band has refined their unique sound into Neo-Funk, a fusion of funk, R&B and soul infused with melodic pop influences. Though compared to an array of musicians (Prince, Bruno Mars, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, George Clinton, and James Brown), their music retains deep gospel influences and positive lyrical messages. Growing up, Walker was influenced by Luther Allison, Stevie Wonder, and Prince.
