“We are very excited to get Mad & Eddie”, said Rob Michael, a VJS spokesperson and respected guitarist in his own right. Michael continued, “Eddie Duran’s career encompasses the entire history of jazz guitar; he has played with everyone from George Shearing to Charlie Parker to San Getz. And Mad’s lyrical style is the perfect complement to Eddie’s unique approach. These two are an integral and much-loved component of the Bay Area jazz scene”.
