This is a tremendous and terrible truth…. In this case I can't console myself by saying "life goes on" , all we can do is trying to give another life to these special and unforgetable men by listening every day to their music, on and on… Thank You all for the magic you gave us….
My heart is in shock to hear of George Ducks passing. Such a wonderful artists gone too soon. I remember him well at Soul to Soul in Oakland and then Sunday in the Redwoods. He allowed me to take as many pictures of him as I wanted and of course one with him. Memories I will continue to cherish!. Wow!
I t is so sad for the world that these two musical giants and two of my musical heroes went far too soon. There will never be another two jazz funk singers like them again. Anyone who saw them in concert has been blessed.
Al Jarreau was incredible ! Saw him 5 times live. Virtuoso singer & scat ; one of a kind talent ! George Duke was incredible on keyboards, arranger , put his heart , & soul in every note ... Heaven received the best of musicians , & human beings ! Can't wait to see you two again . Praying for divine guidance .... 🙏🙋♂️👏
Loved that thanks for posting, lucky to see Al three times in Manchester Uk. Only saw George the once and that was with his mate Stanley around the time of Thief in the night / Find out. 🙂
An awesome song done masterfully by two of the greatest musical talents to ever grace a stage for a crowd. Just doesn't get any better than this. Hope Jakarta enjoyed this as much as I do, never get tired of watching this video. R I P Al & George. GOD bless you both & Thanks.
Have loved Al for years. RIP!! Just getting into Mr. Duke!!! Wow what I’ve been missing. RIP with your friend. What a loss to the world of music!!! I will always play this when I’m down. How uplifting it is.... just makes me happy!!!!!
Saw these two, along with Roberta Flack and David Sandborn, all on stage together back in 2001 at Chastain Amphitheatre in Atlanta. Now THAT, was a show.
Wow! Amazing version! Thanks for share it! Un concierto irrepetible ya, que pena, pero que gusto disfrutar de dos monstruos como Al Jarreau y George Duke juntos en el Java Jazz Festival de 2012 haciendo esta versión del "Roof Garden" que en 1981 era parte del super ventas de Jarreau, "Breakin' Away". En aquel original también era George Duke el responsable de los teclados, y tenia además a Steve Gadd en la batería; un álbum que se mantuvo dos años en el Billboard 200 y que fue número 1 tanto en la lista de jazz como de R&B. #AcidJazz
When I see this I can't help thinking' where the world is coming to without such artistry as they are almost all but a few gone. It makes me a bit sad but I am glad to have been here during a time with such Masters as they don't nurture great artistry today. The Recording Industry has long forgotten why they went into this business a long time ago and are just Money makers today. When the Suits took over they killed the Music Business as they are killing the Bank Business today.
Derfunkmeister music business has always been about money, even from the 1700s. Sometimes more, sometimes less, it's not like there was a precise moment the 'suits' took over and from then on everything was bad, there is still awesome music nowadays and in the 60s 70s you too had moneygrabbing tunes that weren't that good. The bad ones are forgotten, that's why everybody says music was better back then. It's because we remember the good tunes not the bad
I would like to sincerely congratulate you The Java Jazz Festival's organization not only for this video but, for all the great and extended work for making in so short period of time one of the best jazz festival in the planet. Would an honor to one day to be there covering the event for my TV Show AQUI Y AJAZZ. Regards, Chiqui Rodriguez
