Then Duval began touring with artists like The Clark Sisters, Rance Allen, Dennis Byrd, Sister Sledge, Joseph Vincelli and Spyra Gyra; as well as Music Director for Bo Diddly and A.J. Reed. By 1988, Duval constructed the band, Blueprint, which toured for 3 years. Then he played for the Turner Williams Group with the likes of Tom Turner, and Author Vaughan. He also played 2 years in the Toledo Rhythm Project. Duval was the featured bass for The Jeff Williams Group.
