Duane Eubanks

Duane Eubanks (born January 24, 1969 in Philadelphia) is an award-winning jazz trumpeter and flugelhornist,[1] known for his participation in Dave Holland's big band.[2][3] He is the younger brother of Kevin Eubanks and Robin Eubanks.[4]

History

Eubanks was raised in a musical family, but stopped playing in his teens and instead pursued a degree in accounting; six years later, he conceded that this had been an error, and returned to music.[5] He subsequently studied jazz at Temple University, where he played with Wynton Marsalis and Billy Taylor,[6] and also spent two years training with Johnny Coles.[5]

Eubanks released his first album, My Shining Hour, in 1999, having been approached by a producer who had heard him performing on his brother Robin's album 4: JJ / Slide / Curtis and Al.[7]

Collaborations

Eubanks has also performed with many other musicians and musical groups, including Defunkt,[5] Rhonda Ross,[8] Oliver Lake,[5] Mulgrew Miller,[9] and the Wu Tang Clan.[6]

Since 1998, he has been on the faculty of the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music.[6]

Professional recognition

In 2002 and 2005, Eubanks shared in the Grammy Awards received by Dave Holland's big band for the albums What Goes Around[10] and Overtime.[10]

In 2013, Eubanks received an Eddy Award from the Philadelphia Education Fund for his services to music education.[4]
