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

Gabrielle Stravelli’s pairing of a jazz artist’s musicianship with an ability to interpret lyrics and connect with an audience has led to a richly varied career. She premiered pianist Fred Hersch’s song cycle “Rooms of Light”, toured the U.S. premiering Wynton Marsalis’s “Abyssinian Mass”, has headlined international and domestic jazz festivals and regularly leads her quartet in performances at the country’s finest jazz clubs and performing arts centers. “Dream Ago,” her 2017 release which consists primarily of original material, received a rare 5- star review from Downbeat Magazine and her 2019 release “Pick Up My Pieces: Gabrielle Stravelli Sings Willie Nelson” was featured by noted music critic Will Friedwald in the WSJ and awarded the 2020 Bistro Award for Outstanding Recording. A 2014 run of solo shows at New York’s Metropolitan Room earned her a career-launching rave review in The New York Times, followed by a second Times rave for a run of shows at Feinstein’s/54 Below in 2015. That same year she was chosen for the U.S. State Department’s “American Music Abroad” program for which she has performed and taught throughout Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and South America.
