Jerry Hahn: Birth of The Cool

Most Kansas music lovers are familiar with Jerry Hahn via his tenure in The Jerry Hahn Brotherhood with Mike Finnigan, but here’s a taste of the guitarist on his 1967 debut as bandleader with the Jerry Hahn Quintet with Hahn predicting the musical adventures he would take in the subsequent years and decades.

The guitar in its many forms and styles is featured throughout June across our music programs. For more information about the shows and their features and to listen to KMUW music shows anytime online, visit our website at kmuw.org.
