	Musicians - Kevin Eubanks

Kevin Tyrone Eubanks (born November 15, 1957) is a well known American jazz guitarist and has been the leader of the Tonight Show Band with host Jay Leno since 1995.

Kevin is often the butt of Leno's jokes, mainly lampooning him for his marijuana use and apparent lack of a love life (e.g. long periods without sex, chronic masturbation, use of female blow-up dolls) — although Kevin has been known to make a few jokes at Leno's expense.

He played with Art Blakey, Roy Haynes, Slide Hampton, and Sam Rivers before starting to lead his own groups in 1983. Like his brother Robin Eubanks, a jazz trombonist, he has played on record with Dave Holland.

Eubanks is from Philadelphia and frequently wears Philadelphia Eagles and Philadelphia 76ers jerseys or hats on the show to support his teams. Leno often ridicules Kevin's support of these teams.

On May 7, 2005, Eubanks received an honorary doctorate degree from the Berklee College of Music, of which he was an alumnus.

Kevin Eubanks is also an enthusiastic vegetarian, promoting the vegetarian lifestyle as being conducive to good health.
