Steve Khan • Evidence

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Steve Khan gained his initial reputation as a fusion guitarist, so this session (which has been reissued on CD) was a revelation to many when it was released. A rather introspective set of melodic music, the program is highlighted by an 18-and-a-half-minute, nine-song Thelonious Monk medley that is performed solo. Khan is actually the only performer throughout the date, although he uses overdubbing on some cuts ("In a Silent Way" has eight guitars). With its strong melodies (including Wayne Shorter's "Infant Eyes") and subtle but creative playing, this is still one of Steve Khan's most rewarding recordings.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Steve Khan ganó su reputación inicial como guitarrista de fusión, por lo que esta sesión (que ha sido reeditada en CD) fue una revelación para muchos cuando se publicó. El programa, un conjunto de música melódica bastante introspectiva, destaca por un popurrí de Thelonious Monk de 18 minutos y medio y nueve canciones que interpreta en solitario. En realidad, Khan es el único intérprete en toda la cita, aunque utiliza sobregrabaciones en algunos cortes («In a Silent Way» tiene ocho guitarras). Con sus fuertes melodías (incluyendo «Infant Eyes» de Wayne Shorter) y su interpretación sutil pero creativa, ésta sigue siendo una de las grabaciones más gratificantes de Steve Khan.
