Duane Eubanks
Award-winning jazz trumpeter and flugelhornist Duane Eubanks will be appearing in concert at the Englewood Library on Thursday, August 26, at 7:30 p.m. on the library’s front plaza. This will be the ninth installment of the Englewood Public Library’s 9th annual “Jazz Under the Stars” concert series. The series is free and open to the public, but registration is required for these concerts (no exceptions) and is available on Eventbrite or go to tinyurl.com/JUTSeubanks. The rain date will be Sunday, August 29 at 7:30 p.m. Duane Eubanks was raised in intensively musical surroundings. After studying for a degree in Business Administration at the University of Maryland, Eubanks enrolled as a jazz major at Temple University. Relocating to New York, Eubanks formed his own quartet and in 1997 made his recording debut on his brother Robin Eubanks’ Wake Up Call. Eubanks is a veteran of Mulgrew Miller’s band Wingspan, and credits the late piano master as a primary influence and mentor. Duane’s liking for warm and melodic sounds has led him to compose a number of attractive songs, including ‘Lonelyism’, ‘Can’t Wait ’Til Dawn’ and ‘Clairvoyance’, all of which appear on his debut album. The final concert in the series will be the Vince Ector Group, on Thursday, September 9 at 7:30 p.m. For further information, email programming@englewood.bccls.org, or visit the Library’s website at www.englewoodlibrary.org
