Over the last decade he\'s played all forms of jazz from ragtime to no time, from dixieland and grindhouse to swing, bop and beyond. As comfortable with a pair of brushes and a snare as with wind-up toys, gongs, and sawblades, he’s appeared with Jon Jang/ James Newton and Beijing Opera artists Pan Yong Ling, Li Jin Ping, and Li Hong Mei, Otis “Big Smokey” Smothers, Cap’n Jack McDuff, Douglas Ewart and Carei Thomas of the AACM, poet J. Otis Powell!, George Cartwright, Nuyorican poet Tracie Morris, and James Samuel “Cornbread” Harris, Sr., as well as worked with the late performance artist Stuart Sherman. Since moving to Portland from Minneapolis, DuRoche’s worked with avant-garde jazz musicians Wally Shoup, Perry Robinson, Eveline Müller-Graf, John Edwards, Gust Burns, Frank Gratkowski, Bill Horist, Rob Blakeslee, Glen Moore, Jim Knodle, Rich Halley, Michael Vlatkovich, Doug Theriault, Torsten Müller, Damon Smith; choreographers Linda Austin, Linda K. Johnson, and Elizabeth Ward; poet David Abel, and many others.
