Duane Eubanks

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.

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] 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] 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.
