Guitarist
Steve Khan is a gifted jazz-based performer whose adept skills have
found him working with his own groups and as an in-demand session
artist. Born in Los Angeles in 1947, Khan grew up in a musical family,
the son of famed lyricist Sammy Cahn. Initially, he studied drums and
piano in his adolescence before settling on the guitar around age 20. He
honed his skills while attending U.C.L.A., after which he moved to New
York City and quickly found work in variety of jazz, pop, and R&B
settings. During this period he shared the stage with such luminaries as
Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich, the Brecker Brothers, Joe Zawinul's
Weather Update, and others.
As a recording artist, Khan made his
debut alongside fellow guitarist Larry Coryell on 1976's Two for the
Road. He then delivered several well-received albums for Columbia,
including 1977's Tightrope, 1978's The Blue Man, and 1979's Arrows. Also
during this period, he found session work appearing on albums by
Ashford & Simpson, Rupert Holmes, Steely Dan, and Billy Joel. In
1980, he delivered the Thelonious Monk-themed Evidence. A year later, he
formed the fusion quartet Eyewitness, which continued to work
throughout the 1980s. Several more well-regarded albums followed in the
'90s, including 1992's Headline, 1994's Crossings, and 1997's Got My
Mental with John Patitucci and Jack DeJohnette.
He then joined
the Caribbean Jazz Project for 2000's New Horizons and 2001's Paraiso.
Khan returned to his solo work in 2006, reuniting with DeJohnette and
Patitucci for The Green Field, followed by 2007's Borrowed Time. He then
brought along fellow Eyewitness alums Anthony Jackson, Dennis Chambers,
and Manolo Badrena for 2011's Parting Shot, followed in 2014 by the
salsa-infused Subtext. In 2016 he released Backlog, which featured guest
spots from longtime associates like Randy Brecker, Bob Mintzer, Mike
Mainieri, and others.
