R.I.P. George Duke

by Chandra Drews

 

We’re saddened by the news that jazz keyboardist extraordinaire George Duke had passed away at the age of 67 at his home in Los Angeles, California. His extensive career has seen him play for some of the biggest names in modern music: Frank Zappa, Jean-Luc Ponty, Miles Davis, George Clinton, Michael JacksonFlora Purim to name just six, as well as being sampled by countless hip-hop and house producers. To honour his extraordinary services to music, please enjoy this fantastic tribute made by B+ of Mochilla and Waxpoetics, which has been featured on Brainfeeder‘s site a few years ago.whiteboardjournal, logo
