| Piano & Bass Jazz Duo. |

|
| |
James Blackburn, piano and David Duthie, acoustic bass, have been performing together continuously since 1984. Their music, as well as their partnership, is unique in Portland. One can easily hear their tight piano and bass Duo sound, these two pros have developed over the years. They continue to be popular, and sought-after artists by their numerous and ever-growing fan base.
Blackburn and Duthie play the all-time great jazz favorites by such composers as Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Rodgers & Hart, to name a few. Their music is presented in a straight ahead style. Their song treatments are always elegant, sophisticated, and inspired. Theirs is a style of jazz that is quintessential and timeless.
Blackburn & Duthie are seasoned and polished professionals who have performed in long-running nightclub engagements, private gala events, civic celebrations, festivals, and public concerts throughout the Northwest and Palm Springs for the past twenty-five years.
Whether performing as a Duo, or with almost any combination of instrumentalists to suit the occasion, Blackburn & Duthie have an established reputation as a class act.

“One thing is sure: the listener always gets from Jim Blackburn and Dave Duthie an honest commitment to be true to the great musical literature of the Twentieth Century.”

Many thanks again for providing the beautiful music at our son's wedding reception last weekend. We have had so many comments from friends and family about how much they enjoyed the music...we appreciate your being flexible, and all turned out well.
Thank you both again."
