DE3 (Duane Eubanks, Eric McPherson, Dezron Douglas): Live at Maxwell's
by Stefano Merighi
Il trio DE3 (Eubanks-Douglas-McPherson) è toccato dalla grazia in questa incisione dal vivo al Maxwell's di New York. Già la formula di tromba-contrabbasso-batteria è piuttosto rara, vengono in mente al volo Roy Campbell e Kirk Knuffke, ma è la lingua comune fra i tre che si sprigiona già nell'esordio di “Brainfreeze" a catturare senza fatica. Il tema di derivazione hard bop è come raffreddato dall'analisi minuta delle singole frasi, carezzevoli senza essere dolciastre, seduttive con brio. Ed ...

by Steve Bryant
Duane Eubanks Blues Alley Washington, DC July 15, 2015 Duane Eubanks has been fighting to establish a noteworthy identity as a jazz trumpeter for years. One, he's had to dwell in the shadow of his more well-known brothers, Duane and Robin, as well as hustling in the often rough-and-tumble New York jazz scene. 2015 seems to be the year that he has broken out as one of more significant players in modern jazz. His latest ...

by Nicholas F. Mondello
Duane Eubanks may be the youngest of the incredibly musically-blessed Eubanks siblings, however this outstanding Philly-born trumpeter and composer also carries the bedrock jazz tradition of the City of Brotherly Love with “Rocky"-like vigor. With his latest quintet offering Things of That Particular Nature--one long overdue due to his constant in-demand status as a sideman contributor with Mulgrew Miller, brothers Robin Eubanks and Kevin Eubanks, Dave Holland's Big Band and many others--Eubanks returns to the leader's spotlight, grabs horn and ...

by Dan Bilawsky
Things Of That Particular Nature is the record that the jazz world has been waiting for from trumpeter Duane Eubanks. My Shining Hour (TCB Records, 1999) and Second Take (TCB Records, 2001) put Eubanks on the map as a leader, positioning him as a purveyor of all manner of bop-derived music. He instantly came off as one to watch, but his voice was tied to the past on those releases, both through the material he covered and the debts that ...
