Duane Eubanks (born January 24, 1969, in Philadelphia) is an American 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]
Awards and honors
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]
