Duncan Eagles Quartet
"It takes a high level of creative and physical energy and Duncan Eagles has both in spades" BBC Music Magazine
"Saxophonist Duncan Eagles holds the stage with his attractively dry tone, sharpness and the urgent ferocity of his tenor improvising" John Fordham, The Guardian
Duncan Eagles is a London-based saxophonist who performs regularly at venues and festivals all over the world.
Described by BBC Radio as a "rising star of British Jazz" Duncan is attracting attention for his distinctive sound and virtuosic improvising. His album Citizen marked his place on the international music scene and lead to performances in the UK and Europe including opening for Joshua Redman at the Barbican concert hall in London. Having just released his latest album with Ropeadope he will be performing brand new music featured on this album tonight.
Duncan is also recognized for his work with critically acclaimed band, Partikel who have released four albums to date, their second, third and fourth albums Cohesion, String Theory and Counteraction being signed on one of the world's most exciting labels, Whirlwind Recordings, and have been met with praise form the UK, European and USA press, Cohesion being hailed as one of the top 10 releases of 2012 according to renown critic Kevin LeGendre and String Theory making it into the European Jazz Network Charts and also the Daily Telegraph's best albums of 2015 . In 2017 they were nominated for a parliamentary jazz award in the category of "Best Jazz Ensemble" alongside Phronesis and Binker and Moses.
"Duncan Eagles is forging a new path and is likely on the road to even more success as the wave of London Jazz is swelling, signaling another British Invasion, this time in the jazz genre." Glide Magazine
