Steve Khan-Jay Anderson-Ben Perowsky "Masqualero"

[gcgolday]

Awesome as usual. Check out his sessions with the Breckers.

[kortes1975]

Great guitar-man!!!

[MrJohntube12]

guitarists out there should know that he has two books on amazon called chord Khancepts and Pentatonic Khancepts. Im working through the chord book and it's really good.

[TheRhythmspace1]

Steve Khan...one of my absolute favorites. First heard him on an acoustic guitar duo album "Two for the Road" with Larry Coryell. I buy any cd I can find by him...but I've many vinyl albums I haven't seen re-releases of on cd. His website..1 of the best!!

Thanks Steve...

 Peace and God bless...

[TheMichguff]

You might also like a rather hard to get album called " Alive Mutha For Ya" with Billy Cobham, Alphonso Johnson, Tom Scott and Mark Soskin which is one of my all time favorite live albums which I haven't unfortunately seen posted yet on Youtube. Very brilliant playing.

alll of yall need 2 chaeck out mindless behavior..... their awesome!!!!!!!!(:

[cfwbdude]

Ahh great stuff, my dad got me Int this music type and Buena Vista. This music you can listen to anywhere anytime. " ahuge high 5 to Squadoosh!"

[iffenwhat]

There is nothing wrong with this bass player. Anthony Jackson is hip, but this guy makes it as well. Khan has no agent. That's the reason that you don't see him as much.

[Billrabatin]

go to steves great webpage to find some of the eyewitness material

[1Delta]

I was on a vacation in LA in the early eighties and tuned in a local jazz staton and heard a guitar player that kept me riveted to the radio in a trance. It was Steve Khan and I'm still on a mission to find out what LP.

It might be Eyewitness but can't find any samples to confirm.

that said, Steve Khan, like he shows here has got to be one of the greatest damn little known guitarists ever. fluid, lucid, imagination. geeezus H. this guy is good.

wow. any idea what LP I heard back in 83'?

[snag1973]

what would happen if Steve got together with Pat Metheny?

[flatop59]

totally underrated! the best.

[Xelanderthomas]

It amazes me the videos people find. Where the heck did you come across this one?

[Splurgendii]

Khan looks like a more exotic version of Will Ferral (Ron Burgandy)

[Simonefunkydrummer]

Yes a Really Great Vid Here!

[smoothjzzgtr]

Steve Khan is playing a Gibson ES 335 made between 1958-1961 in this performance. What a beautiful ethereal sound, and proof that less is more! Steve's style is much more musical than other guitarists who always play too many notes. What a radical idea, that is playing beautiful chord passages with an occasional linear embellishment. Real music!!!!!

[ignaciomoran]

I am so impressed w Ben Perowsky's drumistic sound on these performances. His time is solid along w his approach to rhythmic modulation and his ability to play the straight 8's feel is impressive. He also can swing the rounded 8's when needed. I've met Ben from the early 90's and to see him live is always an adventure. I happen to play drums left handed on a rightie kit like Ben and it's always a lesson in drum playing when watching him. His dynamics is there and his approach is totally his own.

[iffenwhat]

He, beckenbauers-

Don't tell me that this Jay Anderson isn't kicking some serious ass as well.

[JonP1961]

@iffenwhat

indeed. why does it have to be about what's "over there" instead of what's right here? everything always in relation to something else, instead of just "it for it's own 'it'" :P

didn't even have to read the original to which you are replying. the culture of 'but' permeates youtube.

[beckenbauers]

This is simply beautiful!! Thanks for uploading.

Too bad there are no recordings with Steve Khan's band Eyewitness where he played with Anthony Jackson, Steve Jordan and Manolo Badrena. Unfortunately their recordings are not very well known, but it is by far one of most interesting jazz bands from the 80's...

[MrAnotherthought]

One of the best albums ever! Still play it quite a lot!

[Xelanderthomas]

@beckenbauers you wrote this months ago but if you put in Steve khan eyewitness there are some videos

[marcwhy]

Steve is the Man!

Great video.

[mountainbikingchick]

The greatest guitar player with the least coverage on you tube! He is amazing!!!

[olix35]

This is.... beautiful...

I wish I was there then....

Thanks for this Mr Steve. I enjoyed so much listening to this!

[attributionerr]

sweet

[allegedartistlessons]

[minorthreat141]

[jazzlefty]

IBANEZ .

[3energizer3]

@

jazzlefty:

It's a Gibson ( an old 335 dot i guess).

[MrAletube]

check out his site,he has many transcriptions of these tunes,plus there's a book called chord khancepts which is really good to have.

[xCrumblingMirth]

thanks so much for uploading this!!  Steve is fantastic, and always has top-notch players with him.

[sjnorman2]
