Guitarist Kevin Eubanks is known to millions as the music director of Jay Leno's Tonight Show Band. Eubanks is a gifted jazz guitar stylist and a prolific composer who has led his own jazz quartet for nearly 20 years and released a dozen albums, including several on the Blue Note label. A native of Philadelphia, Eubanks enrolled at Berklee in 1976. Subsequent to leaving the college, he moved to New York and played with such luminaries as Art Blakey, Roy Haynes, Slide Hampton, Sam Rivers, Ron Carter, and others before launching his own group. Eubanks joined the Tonight Show Band in 1992 at the invitation of then music director Branford Marsalis. Three years later, he was directing the band and had penned the show's closing theme. He performs regularly with the Kevin Eubanks Group and composes music for TV movies and feature films. Eubanks is also active in charity work, devoting his energy to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and other organizations. Last spring, Berklee presented Eubanks with an honorary doctor of music degree at the college’s commencement ceremony.

Eubanks, Me'Shell NdegéOcello, Patty Larkin, and the Yellowjackets are among the featured artists in the eight-part Berklee 2005 – 2006 Concert Series, which showcases jazz, Latin, rock, gospel, R&B, folk and other music styles.
