Product Description
Featuring Leon Ndugu Chancler, Stanley Clarke, Sheila E, Rachelle Ferrell, Chante Moore, Christian McBride, and more.
Along with Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and Bob James, George Duke stands as one of the true master keyboardists of the late 20th century. He has performed with and/or produced everyone from Cannonball Adderley to Frank Zappa, in addition to Sonny Rollins, Anita Baker, Quincy Jones, Joe Henderson, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Miles Davis, Earth, Wind & Fire, Natalie Cole, Sarah Vaughan - okay, everybody who's anybody in the music business! As great as his contributions have been to other's projects, his own recordings stand as some of the most cutting-edge contemporary jazz and instrumental funk there is.
Beginning with the hard-grooving title track from his Gold-certified breakthrough Reach For It, Ultimate George Duke takes the listener on an incredibly enticing ride through the career of this contemporary keyboard genius. Hardcore funkfests (Dukey Stick), soulful Urban cover songs (Love Ballad), Quiet Storm hits (No Rhyme, No Reason), authentically grooving sambas (Brazilian Love Affair), and other infectious statements by Duke show his stunning versatility while still remaining true to his distinctive personality. Although there have been compilations of George Duke's work on Epic, there has never been a collection featuring his hits for Warner Bros. and Elektra, and certainly not a career encompassing retrospective culling ALL of his best tracks like Ultimate George Duke.
