About Me |
|
| Jacob Duncan's musical path has been a fascinating one, consistently balancing a spiritual, intuitive inclination with a keen, educated intelligence; his ensemble playing is every bit as assured and sympathetic as his soloing is consistently risking and rewarding. Beginning on the alto sax at the age of eleven, he soon distinguished himself as the kid who could play. He graduated from the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy, played lead alto in the Yamaha Big Band while in high school, and won a music scholarship to the University of North Texas in Denton, where he was a member of the world-renowned One O'Clock Lab Band. After graduation, Duncan flew to Lisbon on a one-way ticket with alto in tow, five hundred dollars, and very little else. Playing on street corners, French jazz clubs, hanging with musicians, hitchhiking or enjoying a peripatetic existence based upon the proverbial "kindness of strangers," he survived and thrived in Europe for eight months. On returning to the States, the siren call of New York got the better of him and he settled there for a time; a day gig at a coffee house kept him afloat while he played countless sessions, gigged endlessly at Nimrod's and the Knitting Factory, and reassembled Liberation Prophecy. Eventually frustrated by stress, rehearsal conflicts, and a consistent diet of Ramen noodles, a cruise ship tour of duty seemed like a solution. Now back on dry land in Kentucky, Duncan's played and/or recorded with everyone from Aretha Franklin, Norah Jones to the Violent Femmes and various Jazz greats. Now, he is devoting his musical energies to Liberation Prophecy, Vamp (trio with Jason Tiemann and Bass player X), a quartet, various duos, large ensemble composition, and exploratory experimental musical pursuits.
