Welcome to The West Coast Jazz of George Kahn

Uncover One of the Greatest Secrets in 21st Century Jazz!

George Kahn For years I have wanted to record jazz versions of the songs I grew up with rather than the usual jazz "standards". To pull this off, the band and arrangements need to be cool AND hip, so I enlisted the help of my friend Brian Bromberg as bassist and producer. We put together an all-star band with Alex Acuña (from Weather Report) on drums and percussion and other top LA session musicians; Justo Almario on sax, John Fumo on trumpet, and Pat Kelley on guitar. Together, we bring a fresh spin to songs by Cream, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, John Mayer and some jazz standards, as well as originals that I think will become standards of their own. George Kahn In addition, Courtney Lemmon joins in on a rollicking version of Bill Wither's "Use Me". The album comes with an 8 page photo booklet by Mark Berndt in the style of the classic Blue Note recordings of the late 50's. The first time my wife heard the album, she said it made her feel like she was fresh out of college again (in a good way).
