Eubanks was born into a musical family. His mother, Vera Eubanks, is a gospel and classical pianist and organist. His uncle, Ray Bryant, was a jazz pianist. His older brother, Robin Eubanks, is a trombonist, and his younger brother Duane Eubanks is a trumpeter. Two cousins are also musicians, the late bassist David Eubanks and the pianist Charles Eubanks. Kevin studied violin and trumpet before settling on the guitar.
As an elementary school student, Eubanks was trained in violin, trumpet, and piano at the Settlement Music School in Philadelphia. He later attended Berklee College of Music in Boston and then moved to New York to begin his professional career.
I am impressed with this album, I had the chance of finding it here in Caracas at my usual used cd store (all originals, of course!), so I have the benefit of changing it in case I do not like it. This one is for my jazz collection, I would put it in that zone as a transition from George Benson to Fusion jazz, right next to Al Di Meola. This is so melodic but so deep, no sacrifice of technique over melody, I would say fine fusion and even some bit of prog can be heard.
What an excellent enssamble of fine musians Mr. Eubanks plays with.
