This is the two hundred and thirty-third in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Trumpeter Duane Eubanks, the younger brother of trombonist Robin Eubanks and guitarist Kevin Eubanks, grew up in Philadelphia, started on the trumpet when he was 11, studied jazz at Temple University, and has been part of the New York jazz scene for the past 25 years.

Among his many musical experiences was playing with Mulgrew Miller in Wingspan, working with Dave Holland, Elvin Jones, Curtis Fuller, John Hicks, and Louis Hayes, and leading four albums of his own.

Duane Eubanks’ LiveStream of Aug. 16, 2020, has the trumpeter and his quartet playing a continuous 67-minute piece that covers a wide variety of moods, from tender and brooding to heated and joyful.

One admires the group’s endurance, consistent creativity, and their ability to hold one’s interest throughout.
