Job Campbell Bio
is a Violist/ Composer who is a senior at Columbia High School. Initially watering his musical seed in the church, Job began to play the viola in the sixth grade and has played ever since, currently studying viola under Todd Van Beveren. Throughout his high school years, he has played in a variety of ensembles from chamber groups to symphony orchestras, most notably: the Ravina Youth Symphony, Harmabee Chamber Orchestra, New York Youth Symphony Chamber Program, New Jersey Symphony Youth Orchestra, and the Columbia High School Virtuosi. To further his musical studies he attended Kinhaven Music School for two consecutive years.
Job began music composition during his freshman year, and the next year he premiered his first complete work at the annual Jubilee concert. Since then, Job has written works that were performed at various events from the Annual Black History Month Celebration: Living the Dream to the Kinhaven Music School Student Composers Concert. Job hopes to pursue music professionally, focusing on viola performance and music composition.
Duane Eubanks Bio
Trumpeter Duane Eubanks has performed everywhere from the Hollywood Bowl to Carnegie Hall to the Kennedy Center, in addition to touring throughout Europe and Japan. He is a member of Dave Holland’s two time GRAMMY Award- winning big band and the late Mulgrew Miller’s band, Wingspan. Duane was born into a family of gifted musical talent: his mother, Vera Eubanks is an accomplished pianist who was notably Kenny Barron’s first piano teacher; his brothers — renowned trombonist Robin Eubanks and guitarist Kevin Eubanks, former bandleader of the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno”; as well as his uncle, the late legendary pianist Ray Bryant—saw his potential at a young age and encouraged him to pursue music. He has worked with a long list of major jazz artists including Elvin Jones, Mulgrew Miller, Dave Holland, Doug Carn, Avery Sharpe, Abraham Burton, and Marc Cary, as well as contemporary artists such as Rhonda Ross, Kirk Franklin, Alicia Keys, Wu-Tang Clan, and Talib Kweli. His recent album releases: the critically acclaimed Things of That Particular Nature, DE3: Live at Maxwell’s, and Duane Eubanks Quintet: Live at Small’s have been well received by Jazz aficionados all over the world. Duane’s short film on jazz and music education was screened at several film festivals including the Copenhagen Jazz Film Festival.
