George Duke does not get the credit he deserves... He is a beast on the Mini-Moog, and is in the ranks with Bernie Worrell and Rick Wakeman... Disagree if you want, but inside you know I speak the truth...
They are all wonderful and unique players. I'm a huge fan of Jan Hammer's work on the Moog and Chick Corea when he played it also. George Duke was such a deep and amazing musician, as well as highly entertaining. Love all those guys. George was always about the groove and the melody. He had ridiculous technique, but it was always made it about the melody and connecting with the audience. I will love George Duke always.
If I here another person say "oh you can't get the expression on a synth, like you can with a 'real' instrument" I will push their nose up against this screen, and say "Listen, you fool, LISTEN!!!!" George made that Moog cry!
This is NEXT LEVEL MUSIC. This man takes you to another world. No stress, no violence. Just wonderful music. Rest easy Mr. Duke. I salute you Sir. ....T
The patch to the left of the Rhodes keyboard is a in/out send for preamps on the Rhodes. That Fender had custom tynes and hammers built in Hollywood. The Mini Moog and Arp Odyssey were given to him by Frank Zappa. To the left is a Oberheim modular system. All key inputs went into a Yamaha PM1000 mixer. Ah the days of anolog.
Around the 4:20 marker is where the true “magic” begins. Always gives me goosebumps for some reason. Something about those frequencies. 🧐 Well done Sir and Thank You.
There will never be another like George, he had such an amazing gift and the whole range of what he did instrumentally and as a producer. I think Cory is brilliant and amazing in his own ways.

What informed fool would disagree with that?
you would have to be a complete and utter idiot to disagree with that comment, however can we add Jan Hammer onto the list of Minimoog kings

True, now we got Cory Henry on the top
Mr.Hancock
Someday is one of the greatest compositions in music history.

George made that Moog cry!
LFOVCF that Moog was at his mercy! What he did was beyond making it cry
Indeed! Then made me cry!

His chords are incredible
Thank you for this. I was Georges tech during his stay with Billy Cobham. We had so much fun. Great shot of the shark.
Dig that!! What that heck what the Minimoog patch?!?

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I love the shark! And George, what can you say. That Moog solo starting around 4:15 was absolutely sublime.
George helped so many in and out of the industry, including myself. He lives on thru his music.
3:55 forward hes playing the moog over his song called theme from the opera ”tzina” if anyone was wondering
Good catch!!!
we all miss Frank...and now, we also miss George :(
thundercat IS the Bass playing incarnation of George Duke lol
His older brother played drums for George Duke so I'm sure he was close to George as well.
@@teddygrant5416 Ronald is his younger brother
This is the original version of Prince. This man forever remains absolutely unbelievable! I love you with all of my musical heart Mr. George Duke!!@
God bless George Duke, guess the aliens called him back home. Miss you man.
Wow George Duke could really sing as well as play those keys. Gmazing
THATS WHAT SHE SAID>>??>>
Rhodes, Moog, a Whiteface oddy, and two Space Echoes, I think I need to change my pants!
Some sort of ARP synth
Maybe an Odyssey?
@@lordundhimself1310 Exactly. To the right of the Moog is an older Odyssey with the rotary pitch bend knob.
Awesome way to start the day!
In a word, "otherworldly"! My God, George Duke..RIP
The best keyboardist of all time.
What a sweet, emotional voice he has.

Around the 4:20 marker is where the true “magic” begins. Always gives me goosebumps for some reason. Something about those frequencies. 🧐 Well done Sir and Thank You.

I adore Cory Henry..Someday he will approach George's brilliance
There will never be another like George, he had such an amazing gift and the whole range of what he did instrumentally and as a producer. I think Cory is brilliant and amazing in his own ways.
2 brilliant musical genius in their tine and space both heros and messengers of God's gift to us and the 🌎world 🙏🏾
Some early proto-neo-soul
Is that rhodes going through an overdrive?
Possibly. I think it looks like a 69'? So the amp offered tube drive, as well as verb and tremolo. That would be my guess.
6:04 someday
Someday i might actually get employed.
And she will see my point of view
was it round, and did it have a motor, or something different?
1:30
