A to Z: Kevin Eubanks beyond the Tonight Show

Kevin Eubanks became know to many as the bandleader, guitarist, for The Tonight Show during the Jay Leno years. Seeing him play in that band and with guests one was able to get a small glimpse of his talent.

He has recorded with a who's who list of jazz giants including Stanley Jordan, Art Blakey, and Jean Luc-Ponty to highlight a few.

Let's jump into the music..

"Morning Sun" with Stanley Jordan...


Here he is with Art Blakey, Wynton and Bradford Marsalis...


A new piece from hi just released this month "Time Line"...


What are some of your favorite Kevin Eubanks moments from the Tonight Show? Did you know about his music outside of the show?

Thanks for visiting and I will have a new post up soon as the A to Z Challenge rolls on!

Kevin Eubanks is a hell of a guitar player that we never hear about. I remember one night Jay Leno was showing crazy stuff you could get at the dollar store, and one of the things was a CD of Kevin's album "Sundance." Kevin laughed, but I felt terrible for him. I had that album, and it was pretty excellent.
