6/19/20 - The Universal Language of Jazz


George Kahn Quartet -
You And The Night And The Music

George Kahn grew up in New Rochelle, NY. Pat Kelley is from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Alex Acuña was born in Patavilca, Peru, a small city about 3 hours from the capital city of Lima. David Hughes was born in Säffle, Sweden.
These four individuals come from vastly different backgrounds, but they were all drawn to Los Angeles due to their desire to play music, and specifically due to their love of Jazz. Together, they are the George Kahn Quartet, bringing "classic" jazz into the 21st century.
Since moving to Los Angeles in 1976, George has had the pleasure to play with many amazing jazz musicians, and now during the last few years this quartet has been honing its craft in the jazz clubs of Los Angeles. With a successful Kickstarter campaign completed, it is now time to go back into the studio to finish their new album.
Here is the FOURTH single from the new album. "You and the Night and the Music" is a popular song composed by Arthur Schwartz with lyrics by Howard Dietz. The song was debuted in the Broadway show "Revenge with Music". The show opened in 1934 and ran for about 5 months. The musical yielded two enduring hits and a profit, although it was an artistic failure. The music lives on - Enjoy!
