George Duke - Brazilian Love Affair / Echidna's Arf 

Masters at work, rip robert brookins and george duke.

George is a great artist, he has had many great albums/CDs. In terms of song for song I think this album, Brailian Love Affair is total favorite.

Duke is probably one of the most versatile musicians to play this globe.

the funkiest summer track ever that bass line blows your mind and Mr Duke on the keys need I say more

i remember my crazy love affairs in Salvador-Bahia in 1983......thank you George for that fantastic music.......

George is very simply.......one of the most talented people on planet earth. Everybody wants to work him. You can also tell what a good guy he is from looking at youtube clips. He cracks me up with his smile and laughing eyes. If I could choose one musician to have a cold one with.....it would be George.

WOW WEE! Unbelievable! Groovy!and more -George is one of the greats!

This is sublime. What an immense talent George Duke was. Great live version.

whatever u say this is legendary stuff!!! i doubt anyone can come close to this in these days of technology...rare talent.

They tore that song UP! RIP Dukey.

This dude kicks ass, man!!!!! He's the man on those keys!!!!

Great funk samba by super-talented George Duke! Thanks for sharing.

Whether GD is spewing 'funk' or jazz he is one of the all-time greatest. Simply gifted brotha.

one of the jazzy tracks by george duke :) i luv it 2R

This is roughly the version played on Casino Lights DVD and really this is killer!!!! What is famous on that Casino lights version (formerly on youtube as well) is how Duke is watching his wrist watch during bass solo .-)))))

blazing and so happy, love this

Maravilloso..Amo a George.. que grande que es por Dios.... he cantado este tema por alla por los 80.. he disfrutado muchisimo.. lo incluire en mi nuevo show.. Patricia Clark

I agree SOOOOO much

yeah baby, this is soooooo nice. great piece to juggle to.

amazing, simply amazing

Beautiful... George and that woman Lori sound amazing together... :)

George Duke seemed to be one of Earth’s really good guys. A couple things some people may not know - As an under-grad, he was a trombone player. Singer Diane Reeves was his first cousin.

I saw many takes of "Brazilian love affair". I believe this take is the most refined one.

Siempre me encantó este tema................ Transmite alegría, y una especie de estado de "idiotez" maravilloso!!!!

This version is great ! It's very pure and relaxed. In the same show he played six o'clock in the morning (album - snapshot) which also sounded great

thanks loved it

The Duke of Prunes!

TIGHT!

just great music!

man those guys r jammin

updated version of a classic back from the day - the playing is awesome!!!!! if only contemporary keyboardists can play like this, then that really would be something, but alas there is only one George, he is in the pantheon of the 1970s and 80s greats i.e. Herbie Hancock,Chick Corea, at al.

Holy shit.

dimitrisdimopoulosan yeah, after listening again i realized you are correct...could of slowed down the tempo slightly could of enjoyed it better. i just love music--george duke and robert brookins as well. both are awesome musicians. knew robert brookins great man. rip brothah.

The Keyboard player is a killer. The solo is great. Dont get it wrong guys: George Duke is awesome too, but the other Keyboarder did a great job. keep groovin 1st

One of the greates, if not the graetest black musician of all time..sure beats that rap crap

hi i just love this music so grea

some part of this song is jam because he rise one finger this means one clear sign to the rest of the band ..

I felt like the tempo gave it some real good energy, I'm sure it sounds good slow too, but I liked this version a lot. Nice sound quality all the way around as well.

Damn, 1 of many favourites!! But who sampled this into a Dance track years ago??...its bugging me!!?... Cant find it on U Tube!...Thanx 4 uploading! A true jazz/funk music icon...RIP Duke! x

@namille The 12" vinyl says 1980.

@beckfordism Yeah, this is raw, 100% natural fiber... no tricks here

RIP

rumor has it that drummer is still playing that 5/8 pattern today

dat Bass solo! ;)

ricoooooooo

i'm dutch

LOL! the beatbox intro was cheesy, but what a hell of a groove, I dig the bassman

@mafia67 ,THE TRUTH BE TOLD,HE IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME GREAT KEYBOARDIST/MUSICIAN OF ALL TIME,I CALL HIM, UNCLE GEORGE,LOL

nice new ending...

look @ manson fingers..jesus

Yes, he copies George's synth style and does it very well - but George is still the original.

:( the Frank Zappa part was tiny...

the lady in the back looked like Monique... but the song sounds amazing.

It's great but too fast..

I don't wanna make you cry!! ;)) I am good person.. Ok, I'll let you know some things.. 1 Title: Brazilian Love Affair - Brazilian rhythm - not jazz, but fusion. 2 Propable YOU'VE NEVER listened to the original, 3 It's a song, not an instrumental track, that means lyrics, voice and breaths.. 4 Please DO NOT CRY.. Hahahaha!!!! lol!!

ｼﾞｮｰｼﾞ･ﾃﾞｭｰｸさん!もはや､貴方のほんとの顔なんてどうでもいいヨ!～グッド･ｻｳﾝﾄﾞ･ｸﾘｴｲﾀｰだもんね!､この曲は別格"ﾌﾞﾗｼﾞﾘｱﾝ･ﾗヴ･ｱﾌｪｱｰ"

LOL!

It is jazz what is to fast about jazz? This is a very nice jazz beat. You just can't keep up. You don't know jazz at all.

The rythm is based on a brazilian samba...So this song played slow would a totally waste of time..cause it would take away the whole point..XD
