Duane Eubanks Quintet’s Southeast tour stops in St. Petersburg on Sunday, where Eubanks will play trumpet and flugelhorn (like a trumpet but different) while leading his band in “straight-ahead post-bop style jazz reminiscent of Miles Davis and Lee Morgan with a modern progressive emphasis and vibe.” If the musician’s name sounds familiar it’s because his brother, Kevin, was the leader of “Tonight Show” band for 15 years, during the Jay Leno years. As part of St. Petersburg College, Palladium follows the school’s COVID-19 protocols which “strongly recommend” everyone to wear a mask especially those that are still not vaccinated.
