duende is an energetic new trio featuring longtime collaborators Alex Chadsey (piano/keyboards/compositions), Farko Dosumov (electric bass) and Jeff Bongo Busch (drums & percussion). duende utilizes the American jazz tradition as a point of departure for daring explorations of rhythm & influences from the Americas, Europe and Africa yielding catchy melodies, lush harmonies, and wholehearted groove.

Alex Chadsey has distinguished himself in a wide range of contexts with his unique musical sensitivity and versatility. He has toured and performed throughout the U.S. as well as in Mexico, Europe and South America. In 2012 Alex played on the Grammy-award winning album imaginaries (Smithsonian Folkways) by the LA-based band Quetzal. Current projects include reggae legend Clinton Fearon & the Boogie Brown Band, the Samantha Boshnack Quintet, and Alexs own trio duende.

In addition to his achievements as a performer, Alex has been the recipient of multiple grants and awards from the City of Seattle to support collaborations with local, national & international artists, including Sounds Beyond Barriers, a collective songwriting project with youth in 2015 at the King County Juvenile Detention Center in Seattle. Alex serves on the teaching faculty at Digipen Institute for Technology, Holy Names Academy and the Seattle Drum School.
