1. ) Duncan Eagles – Partikel – ANNIVERSARY SONG
ANNIVERSARY SONG, Partikel’s new album is released by BERTHOLD records on May 2022 .
The songs were all composed by Eagles and arranged collectively by the jazz trio, which excels here with its adventurous and virtuosic musicianship.
This is Partikel’s fifth album whose title ANNIVERSARY SONG marks the group’s 10th year. The first public appearance was in The Great Horse, a pub in Kingston, south west London. “Eric Clapton and all the local musicians used to play there on a Monday, “recalls Eagles. “We did a residency there and became quite popular playing standards, then we started to write our own music. But the money was bad, so when a club in Streatham opened, The Hideaway, we went on to do that.”

2. )Duncan Eagles (Quartet ) released his second album with renowned label Ropeadope
The album features Tomasz Bura (Incognito) on piano, Max Luthert (Moses Boyd) on bass and Zoe Pascal (Steve Williamson) on drums. Click the player below to listen to the new music..
“This is music that I have been writing throughout the pandemic and I’m excited to bring it to life with these amazing musicians. Max is someone I’ve known and been working regularly with for most of my life. He always brings a solid, musical and positive foundation to everything he does and I’m happy to have him on board. Zoe is someone I’ve met more recently who blew me away with the maturity he performs with at such a young age. He has so much fire in his playing which is something that will energize this new music. Tomasz is someone who I don’t really know and we have only played together one or two times but he is also someone who’s playing I admire very much. The few times we have played together left quite an impression on me and I’m so pleased he is involved. These musicians are the first calls I had for this music and I can’t wait to get recording with them!”
Live at the 606 Club, London:
