Duke Robillard does not stand still; his musical curiosity continues to take him to many different areas of the American musical palette.
Duke is a superb technician, in total command of his instrument, and he’s prepared and willing to tackle different American musical genres - blues, jazz, small and big band swing, original material, and songs from the golden age of the great American songbook. The heart, soul and integrity of the small band swing era, shines through every note.
And this music isn’t limited to recordings - Robillard has always brought his music to audiences all over the world. Like B.B. King and Buddy Guy, he keeps up a performance schedule that has included as many as 300 dates in a single year, from Moscow to Montreal, from Boston to Barcelona, and from London, England to London, Ontario.
