While he’s not busy touring the country with Sturgill Simpson or busy in the studio playing on other musicians’ projects, saxophonist-composer Brad Walker explores new ground with EP1, released February 1. Last year, Walker and his band recorded in Living Room Studios in New Orleans not entirely sure whether or not those sessions would yield a full record or more of a foundation for later sessions. The Living Room sessions yielded two performances that stuck out to Walker, which would culminate into EP1 , the first of a series of shorter “in the meantime” releases in between full-length records.
