Los Angeles-based jazz pianist and composer, George Kahn, has been recording professionally since 1985. And, Mr. Kahn has been releasing a new commercial recording just about every two years on his own “Playing Records" label since 1998--almost like clockwork. He participated in the original digital music revolution of the '90s, using the Internet to promote his recordings at such digital distribution websites like the initial MP3.com, the long defunkt Riffage.com and several others of that era.
Mr. Kahn joined the Artists Recording Collective shortly after it was formed in 2007, both he and his Playing Records label are promoted and marketed within the context of the ARC artist roster as well.
The hallmark of a GEORGE KAHN (and Playing Records) release is high quality--across the board, from: music selection, arrangements, and the hiring of top LA studio musicians; to: professionally designed packaging, product manufacturing and world-wide distribution of CDs and downloads.
GEORGE KAHN's latest release is SECRETS FROM THE JAZZ GHETTO. The CD is in production, the artwork has been signed off, and the release date is set for June 15. George's 7th album is a 2-CD set, filled with 26 tracks that feature some of the best jazz musicians on the west coast playing his original music.
Included is a retrospective of songs from Kahn's previous recordings, plus 7 new compositions that were recorded live in the studio in 2009. The music covers a range of styles, from bebop to Cool Jazz to Latin , Bossa Nova and contemporary jazz. Tierney Sutton, Eric Marienthal, Justo Almario, Andy Suzuki, Brian Bromberg, and Alex Acuna are just a few of the artists that join George on this compilation. The album also features new renditions of two of the greatest jazz standards, “Over The Rainbow" and “My Funny Valentine".
