His last visit (as a member of the Julian Arguelles Quartet in 1996) brought him an award ~- judged by audience votes ~— as best musician in the Glasgow Jazz.

Walker describes the music as ‘deceptively simple‘. strong on melody and harmony. but with richly textured

\ oicings and a wide-ranging sound palette. The band features the excellent Nikki lles (keyboards). lain Dixon (tenor sax). and ex-Simply Red and Andy Sheppard bassist Sylvan Richardson as the familiar faces. plus a second keyboard player. John Ellis. and Steve Gilbert (drums).
