CD Reviews"A Sterling Musical Statement" - reviewed by Alfredo Cruz, K George M. Kahn | CA United States | 06/16/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "George Kahn's Cover Up! doesn't waste any time. The swing kicks in hard and fast - thanks to Brian Bromberg's vicious bass - on the infectious and recognizable Cream classic Sunshine of Your Love. After getting your attention, Kahn and his all-star band guide us through a collection of jazz, rock classics and original compositions that swings from beginning to end. As with previous Kahn releases, Cover Up! is characterized by great arrangements played by monster musicians. The music, while complex, sounds effortless, and skillfully blends straight-ahead and contemporary styles into a sound rooted in tradition while emanating from today. The band has everything it needs to turn the Pink Floyd teen anthem Comfortably Numb into a wistful jazz ballad, to bop hard a la 60s Blue Note on Mitchell's Blues, groove to the guitar-driven Wes' Coast, and get to some down-right dirty funk on the title track. George Kahn's Cover Up! is a sterling musical statement from an unselfish and swinging pianist. Don't let it go unnoticed.
