  • George Duke, Jazz Icon, versatile musician past away at age 67. He was one of my favorites on the keyboards. He released his last work entitled Dream Weaver earlier this year. Great music as is all of George Dukes work. Peace 2 All

      Check out the stuff he did with Frank Zappa on albums like The Grand Wazoo, Waka/Jawaka, One Size Fits All, and Over-Nite Sensation. Just two absolutely titanic virtuosi with completely different musical backgrounds coming together and making absolute magic happen. Seriously how they're not mentioned alongside Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Jaco Pastorius, and the other legends of jazz fusion will forever elude me.

      If you're into Fusion, you have to check out his stuff from the 70's. Mr. McFreeze, Vulcan Mind Probe, or really anything off his Solo Keyboard Album is great stuff. And dig into his MPS era stuff. The title track off "Faces In Reflection" is one of my favorites. There are several other albums that are great from that time frame.
      As Tjena Donn indicated, his stuff with Zappa is legendary. Look for live versions of Big Swifty with him on it. His soloing is phenomenal! That and the Live at the Roxy stuff is must see George.

    This is a live in Japan. I went to see the concert because I was attracted to the combination of Louis Johnson and George Duke.
    But Paul Jackson and Steve Ferrone! I didn't understand at that time. I want to go back to those days.

    According to Wikipedia, "...It was at the young age of 4 that Duke first became interested in the piano. His mother took him to see Duke Ellington in concert and subsequently told him about this experience. "I don't remember it too well," says George, "but my mother told me I went crazy. I ran around saying 'Get me a piano, get me a piano!'"
    There is a video where George Duke (RIP) talks about the influence Frank Zappa (RIP) had on him. Duke said something like, "When I first joined the band, I wanted to play my heart out but Frank told me to be happy playing the melody of the song, like everyone else in the band, most of the time. I only wanted to play on an 88-key electric piano but Frank encouraged me to play synthesizer. He also encouraged me to sing back up vocals but I didn't want to be a singer"
    I wouldn't know who George Duke was if I were not a fan of "Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention" (AKA The Mothers) George Duke is not Luciano Pavarotti but it's awesome to hear him sing the lead vocals on a song he wrote! Frank Zappa didn't sing like Pavarotti either.
