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...

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

Happy Birthday Jimmy Fallon!

Today is Jimmy Fallon's 42nd birthday. Fallon is the latest host of The Tonight Show. The newest generation. Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, and Conan O'Brien proceeded him.

He has his own style.

Okay I got the politicalness out of the way.

He has talent in his musical skits. What do you think of him? Does he fit well for the show? How does he compare with the other hosts?
