Description: | 2014 compilation from the late Jazz great. THE GEORGE DUKE COLLECTION focuses on the versatile artist's time on the Heads-Up label - an era, seemingly, of reflection: whether Duke found himself returning to his funk roots, employing his signature synth sounds and vintage techniques in the studio (DEJA VU), or paying tribute to his beloved wife, after her passing (DREAMWEAVER). THE COLLECTION includes plenty of upbeat funk, as well as introspective pieces, like the autobiographical 'Trippin'.' Famous friends join in too: 'Ball & Chain' features the late Teena Marie, while Rachelle Ferrell, Wayman Tisdale and Sheila E. join a handful of other luminaries on these tracks. A compilation for new and old fans alike, THE GEORGE DUKE COLLECTION finds an artist who was 40 years into his career, yet still riding high on the top of his game when he left us, much too soon. When the multitalented George Duke passed away in August of 2013, his loss was felt throughout the musical community. Indeed, the keyboardist/composer/producer's impact on jazz, pop and R&B over the past forty years is nearly impossible to calculate.The "George Duke Collection" on CD is a comprehensive anthology celebrating the illustrious career of George Duke, one of jazz fusion's most influential keyboardists and composers. This collection brings together some of his greatest hits and signature tracks, showcasing his innovative blend of jazz, funk, R&B, and soul. Listeners are treated to an immersive journey through decades of musical evolution, highlighting Duke?s virtuosic piano skills and groundbreaking production techniques. The album is released by Heads Up International, a renowned label known for its dedication to high-quality contemporary jazz releases and support for legendary artists worldwide. George Duke?s legacy includes collaborations with Frank Zappa, Stanley Clarke, Miles Davis, and numerous Grammy nominations?making this collection essential for any serious music enthusiast. |
