George Duke on piano. One of my musical heroes. The king of pitch bending. Music from my youth. He and Kirk together. Beautiful. Rest In Peace, Maestro Duke
I used to live in San Antonio. I remember when Kirk used to come to a club there called The Lower Berth, you could tell back then he was destined for greatness.
There's not one single chord missed...this is a master piece the whole band is on point...the late great George Duke in rare form...they gave every ounce of energy on all instruments from the the drums to the organ the bass the piano the sax the guitar the keyboards...everything is so tight it one with time and space. In short...total eargasmic journey 💯 🔥

I still love life and love and jazz and this. been born again in something new and still they (the musicicans) are there. tHEY STILL LIVE IN THIS TIME. LOVE YOU ALL, O...
Straight up and hopefully I'm not being controversial with my honesty here! But....! I'm a white Irish Chatolic who has enjoyed true gospel and African American church music since I was introduced to it by a Nigerian sax playing friend some time ago. this video and performance shows a band that is keen to deliver a musical and soulful performance that best represents their spirit for soul while the audience shows their spirit in their absolute quite attention for the performance. Def jam type American productions have always shown African Americans as loud audience participants but I've known since my time with my friends in those circles the contrary was the case. Now though, we've neo gospel music groups that are comprised of young white musicians but who over play the style in favour of show off cluttered performances to a loud and cheering audience who treat the performance as some kind of Olympic sporting event. To be straight to the point, the real gospel appreciators listen to this and watch this video while the neo casuals watch 15 sec ok tik tok gospel uploads of of overplaying youths paying no respect to the style by paying sole respect to fanciful showing off playing. Let's go back to sophisticated playing as musicians over a "look at me" playing. Musicians should know better anyways. As a player of music, I know the applause of laypersons is fleeting, the acceptance of musical peers for life. Music is choice, not expectations
