About Jeremy Kahn
Northwestern’s faculty biography identifies Kahn as a Chicago pianist and jazz-piano lecturer who studied at New England Conservatory with Jaki Byard. After twelve years in New York, he returned to the Chicago area and became pianist for the Chicago Jazz Ensemble.[1]
Kahn’s work crosses jazz clubs, teaching studios, recordings, and theater pits. Northwestern documents his theater credits as a pianist and conductor, while his own site describes commercial recording sessions alongside a broad jazz performance practice.[1][2]
His official recording archive foregrounds the albums Most of a Nickel and The Jitterbug Waltz and also collects trio, vocalist, and Pepper Adams project sessions. The page’s artist-hosted SoundCloud player provides a direct route into that recorded work.[3]
