DUANE EUBANKS QUARTET

Duane 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. He subsequently studied jazz at Temple University, where he played with Wynton Marsalis and Billy Taylor, and also spent two years training with Johnny Coles.

He hass 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. In 2002 and 2005, Eubanks shared in the Grammy Awards received by Dave Holland’s big band for the albumsWhat Goes Around and Overtime.
