Kevin Eubanks - East West Time Line

On 'East West Time Line', guitarist Kevin Eubanks explores the chemistry he maintains with musicians on both coasts. Joining Eubanks on this stellar outing are the irrepressibly swinging Jeff Tain Watts, bassist Dave Holland, pianist Orrin Evans and trumpeter Nicholas Payton, drummer Marvin Smitty Smith and saxophonist Bill Pierce.

Once again, his distinctive finger-style approach to the instrument is in the service of tunes that run the stylist gamut from urgent swingers to introspective ballads to Latin-tinged numbers and some get-down Philly funk.

Eubanks is a complete player, whether delivering jaw-dropping solos or flavourful comps. JazzTimes
