BOBBEE ZENO MUSICAL REWIND from 4/30/11 – George Duke, Part Two
Click here to go to our Listen Page!
GEORGE DUKE was a singer, and a piano and synthesizer pioneer. A multiple Grammy winner, his work spanned numerous genres as a recording artist, composer, record producer, professor of music, and music director. He first made a name for himself with the album The Jean-Luc Ponty Experience with the George Duke Trio. He was known primarily for thirty-odd solo albums as well as for his collaborations with other musicians. The album “Dreamweaver” was a tribute to his late wife, released in 2013, a year after she passed away and just a month before Duke himself was gone.
In this second part of the interview, Bobbee talks with George about his orchestral tour de force “Muir Woods Suite” (1993), his “In a Mellow Tone” tribute album to Duke Ellington, and the importance of being supportive of young musicians.
