A Legend is gone.
Very sad news.
Hard to pick up some Duke´s audio/video.


And recently showing his "home" studio. Energy, love and kindness...

May his Soul rest in Peace, what a very sad day, I'm speechless...

His wife died from cancer a year ago. Really sad.

This band was simply amazing. Groovy and funky and ripping.

Bloody Hell! That's unbelievable. I absolutely love George Duke's playing. R.I.P. Terrible, terrible loss.

I was recently watching Rachelle Ferrell at Montreux with him. Here is the whole concert, it's an absolute must see. She is of course superb. Jonathan Butler is fantastic, love his voice and his guitar playing. Little John Robert plays some great solos. George Duke playing the way we know and love him for. This fusion tune is awesome with a short solo by John Roberts.

Also, this is great. George Duke lets everyone solo.
