Career Overview

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 Chicago and joined the Chicago Jazz Ensemble.[1]

Kahn’s official archive separates leader trio and quartet recordings, work with vocalists and reed players, the Double Monk dance project, commercial sessions, and theater conducting. The archive supplies personnel and recording context rather than treating those settings as one standing band.[2][3]
