Steve Khan - Evidence (CD)

Details: Steve Khan is a jazz-fusion guitarist extraordinaire who issued many albums starting in 1977 through 2019. He gained his initial reputation as a fusion guitarist, so this session was a revelation to many when it was released. A rather introspective set of melodic music, the program is highlighted by an 18-and-a-half-minute, nine-song Thelonious Monk medley that is performed solo. Khan is actually the only performer throughout the date, although he uses overdubbing on some cuts ("In a Silent Way" has eight guitars). With it's strong melodies (including Wayne Shorter's "Infant Eyes") and subtle but creative playing, this is still one of Steve Khan's most rewarding recordings.
