About Me |
|
| Eddie Kohen's musical career began at 9 years old with a beat up Kay classical guitar. By the time he was 13 He was playing with the high school kids as a lead guitarist. It was at this time that his musical interest turned to jazz. In the early 70's there were a lot of exciting things happening in the jazz world largly fueled by Miles Davis electric work at the time. The Miles family of musicians of this time proved to be a major influence.At Berkley High School Ed's desire for a more formal music education combined with the schools need for a string bass player led to private lessons with Detroit jazz legend Ed Pickens at Oakland University.
Upon graduation Eddie entered The Berklee College of Music as a dual guitar and bass performance major. Private study with Rich Appleman and ensemble classes led by Gary Burton and Michael Gibbs seemed to indicate bass was direction Eddie would head in. Meeting Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, and Bob Moses and the chance to see them play regularly clinched the fact that bass would be the voice.Eddie returned to Detroit in 1977, purchased his first fretless bass and hit the ground running, entering the famous "Detroit School of Hard Knocks".
Through the 70's and 80's Eddie performed regularly all over town. During this time he was able to play with many Detroit greats including but not limited to, Ed Marz, Dave Mcmurray, Earl Klugh, Perry Hughes, Captain Woodwinds, and also did many studio dates.From about 1990 to 1998 Eddie took a hiatus from playing. It was during this time he met his beautiful wife Cathy and ran a Holistic Pet Supply store.
It was in late 1998 that Eddie decided to resume his playing. After intensive woodshedding and the building of Electric Bassmentland Studios Eddie once again emerged on the Detroit music scene. A chance meeting with Detroit guitar legend Mikhal Caldwell propeled Ed's playing to new heights.
