Overview

The Duane Carter Band is a Contemporary Jazz ensemble blending Funk, jazz, Latin, & fusion. This is a lively band that will not only have you patting your feet, but have you up dancing in the aisles. Looking for that soulful, funky sound, look no further. But know, if you need something a little more traditional, they can do that too!

Holiday party jazz

Duane Carter and his band were a fabulous addition to our corporate holiday party. Duane was a pleasure to work with and our guests were all very complimentary of the music. I would definitely work with them again in the future!
