Duke Junction
Duke Junction draws from a broad range of jazz influences, including The Peter Bernstein Trio, Art Pepper, Thelonious Monk, Larry Young, Jimmy Smith, and Duke Ellington (whose legacy inspired the band’s name), among others.The group brings these influences to life through some of the finest musicians on the Northern jazz scene.
Nadim Teimoori on saxophone has performed with renowned artists such as Stan Tracey, Gareth Lockrane, Callum Au, and the ‘BBC Concert Orchestra’. Guitarist Jeff Hewer, a student of Peter Bernstein, John Abercrombie, and Barry Harris, frequently performs with his own ensembles. Martin Longhawn, an accomplished organist and one of the busiest musicians in the North, has worked with an array of artists, including “Svarc Hanley Longhawn” and “Trio JDM.” On drums, Steve Hanley is one of the most sought-after players in the scene, performing regularly with “Family Band,” “Ubunye,” and many others.
