Daily Dose Of Jazz…

Duane Andrews was born November 30, 1972 in Carbonear, Newfoundland and Labrador and grew up exposed to the island’s mélange of cultural influences and his development as a guitarist reflects that. After graduating from the Jazz Studies program at St. Francis Xavier University with honours, he spent several years studying contemporary music composition at the Conservatoire International de Paris and at the Conservatoire National de Region in Marseille, France.

He combines traditional Newfoundland folk music with jazz similar to the way that guitarist Django Reinhardt infused jazz with Manouche influences. He is a composer for film and television, and has recorded thirteen albums as he continues to compose and explore music.
