Duncan Eagles
Described by BBC Radio as a “rising star of British Jazz” saxophonist Duncan Eagles is a virtuosic improviser with a distinctive sound. Based in London, he performs regularly at venues and festivals all over the world, and recently opened for Joshua Redman at the Barbican Concert Hall. Duncan is also known for his work with critically acclaimed band, Partikel, which was nominated for “Best Jazz Ensemble” at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards. Describing his approach as “cinematic and expressive”, Duncan cites influences from funk and blues to avant garde on his brand of jazz. Accompanying him at this show will be Tomasz Bura-piano, Max Luthert-bass and Zoe Pascal-drums as they perform a selection of music from their latest album, “Narrations” (released on the renowned Ropeadope label), as well as songs from previous albums.
"Saxophonist Duncan Eagles holds the stage with his attractively dry tone, sharpness, and the urgent ferocity of his tenor improvising" The Guardian; "In Duncan Eagles we have a young tenor/soprano saxist...who has listened and absorbed the past. His tone on tenor brings to mind Stan Getz, it's simply sublime, yet his ideas are very much entrenched in the jazz of today and tomorrow." BeBop Spoken Here
