FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL JAZZ MADRID - JAZZ CON SABOR A CLUB

Duane Eubanks. The jazz trumpeter, composer, arranger and producer is a multifaceted force whose fiery bursts and distinctive sweet sound take his trumpet into a musical space that defies categorization. A raw soul and passion that strongly reflect his Philadelphia roots can be heard on his two most recent albums as a bandleader: Things of that Particular Nature (2015, Sunnyside) and DE3 - Live at Maxwell’s (2016, Sunnyside).

“Duane is one of my all-time favorite horn players. One of the most honest musicians I have ever met. He plays from the heart, and he comes from an incredibly rich musical family tree.” — Roy Hargrove, GRAMMY-winning trumpeter.

Duane studied jazz in master classes at Temple University with legendary Dr. Billy Taylor. He went straight to New York, where great pianist Mulgrew Miller invited him to join his ensemble, Wingspan. Acclaimed bassist and bandleader Dave Holland called on him to play with his big band on two GRAMMY-winning albums. Eubanks became a highly sought-after trumpet player, recording and performing with Elvin Jones, John Hicks, Curtis Fuller, Louis Hayes, Randy Brecker, Avery Sharpe and Nicholas Payton.
