The quality about Nate Kahn and his music that immediately appeals is that he’s fluent in the vocabularies of a host of different genres and styles but is pinned down by none of them. One listen to this recording will reveal influences as diverse as Steely Dan, jazz fusion, Lynrd Skynrd, horn-driven funk, blues, ballads, bebop and …well… the list goes on. And though Nate is a powerfully talented soloist and composer, the focus in all he does is the communication of the joy of creating and playing music with talented thoughtful players.
