Jazz Guitarist Steve Khan to Release New CD: Borrowed Time

From the review by Tom Watson: Borrowed Time could be my Summer of '07 album, at least certainly one of them. It's musical seduction at its finest. Khan and crew are heavy hitters (core personnel include John Patitucci, acoustic bass, and Jack DeJohnette, drums), but the jazz elements aren't heavy handed - like the cover art, brain engagement to closely follow harmonic and rhythmic development is optional and invitational, which also means additional pleasures unfold on subsequent listens ... Khan's guitar playing on Borrowed Time is an excellent example of the fine art of ensemble work - his lines simultaneously speak for themselves and, through his rhythmic sense and lush, lingering tone, often direct the tempo's ebb and flow. Steve Khan is a literate musician (with a fine cast of literate musicians) who appreciates the affect sound and rhythm have on our not-so-literate body and soul. Borrowed Time cuts a pleasure path from eyes to ears to body to brain, in that order. Review »
