Jazz Man George Duke

George Duke has more than 30 solo recordings and a resume that spans more than 40 years, with music that is full of old-school funk sensibilities and a careful balance of energy and simmering balladry. "I feel a responsibility to carry positive messages in my music," says Duke. "I think music is meant to lift people up. Celebrate the generation of funk and soul with a true jazz pioneer.
