Double Bass Eddie Khan

[damonsmith]

Smoke stack is amazing. I made an Eddie Khan playlist today and listened at work: Smoke Stack, Freddie Hubbard's "Breaking point", Joe Henderson's "Our Thing" & Jackie Mclean's "One Step Beyond" all first rate albums. He is a beautiful player and sounds strong on all of them.

I listening to Eric Dolphy with Eddie Kahn right now. "The Illinois Concert". I haven't listened to this in a long time and didn't pay much attention to Eddie. He's playing some cool sh!t. I wish I could hear the bass better though.

I just picked this up today because of Eddie , but Herbie is on this and I have not been listening to Dolphy lately.... I should be listening to Dolphy more.... Any ways some really advanced playing for 1963.
Yes, the bass is under mixed. Sounds like distant miking closer to the piano and they try to turn it up for bass solos' ...

Hello - In doing research for an article I'm writing about Eddie Khan, I saw this thread. Though this was written some time ago, I saw that B String knows people who knew Eddie Khan and I would be very grateful to get in touch with B String and the neighbors referred to. I can be reached at [email protected]

Thanks,

Jeff Campbell
