[78-L] Kahn Keene

[Taylor Bowie]

My apologies to any Kahn Keene fans out there...very much a real name of a 
real person who played with Pollack,  Charlie Barnett,  Frankie Masters, 
and many other bands,  and collaborated on the tune  'Scatterbrain" with 
Masters and tenor sax player Carl Bean...maybe they had solo battles as Bean 
and Keene?

He was also in the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band,  played in the Skitch 
Henderson Orch on the original Steve Allen Tonight Show,  later moved to 
Atlanta and played with the symphony there.  He later had his own jazz 
group,  the Kahn Keene Kwintet.

After messing with music since I was a little kid,  I'm still amazed at how 
much I still have to learn!

Taylor
