He was born in New York, United States.[1] Kahn began playing drums at age 15.[1] He played with Boyd Raeburn (1948), Georgie Auld, Chubby Jackson, and Charlie Barnet (1949),[1] and played drums and vibraphone under Elliot Lawrence (1952–53).[2] He also performed and recorded with Red Rodney, Serge Chaloff, Lester Young, Al Cohn, and Stan Getz.[2]
He worked with many of the ensembles he played in as an arranger, and also arranged for Woody Herman and Elliot Lawrence.[1] He composed "Tiny's Blues" and "Father Knickerbopper" among other tunes.[2] Kahn never led a recording session; he died in Edgartown, Massachusetts, of a heart attack at age 30.[1][3]
