专辑介绍

On Dukey Treats, George Duke returns to the big FONK of the late '70s and early '80s on this set for Heads Up. In truth, it's a bit of a surprise given the sheer laid-back tone of 2006's In a Mellow Tone, which was a piano trio date, but then, Duke hasn't been predictable for some time. What is interesting is that this return to the music that made him a commercial superstar and a platinum-selling artist coincides with a look back at his early fusion catalog by Universal in Japan, Europe, and the United States. In 2008 there have been two separate releases of Feel -- an elegant Japanese one designed for export by SPV and a bargain-priced edition in Verve's Originals series. In addition, MPS in Germany has released My Soul: The Complete MPS Fusion Recordings. But Dukey Treats isn't a fusion record. Instead, it's a funk and slick uptown soul outing. Duke surrounds himself with friends old and new on this set, including Sheila E. on percussion and backing vocals, a full horn section (including Michael "Patches" Stewart on trumpet and saxophonist Everette Harp), Jef Lee Johnson on guitars, and vocalists DeeDee Foster, Josie James, and Lynn Davis, as well as guest appearances by Leon "Ndugu" Chancler, Vinnie Colaiuta on drums, and Wah Wah Watson, among others. The music walks an interesting line between backbone-slipping, hip-wriggling funk jams reminiscent of not only Duke's early experiments with the form, but also of Don Blackman's and George Clinton's -- and modern, silky rich, velvety sophisticated soul. ...

- @路德·古利特(这家伙很聪明什么也没留下...)：说起这位胖胖大叔George Duke乔治 .杜克，他是音乐科班出身，美国钢琴家、作曲家和音乐制作人。精通各种键盘乐器，并与许多爵士名乐手搭档演出，例如小号手MilesDavis、萨克斯风手SonnyRollins…。瞧他在键盘上狂野奔放、来回飞舞的胖胖甜不辣十指，那种顶尖音乐人独有的韵律感，堪称爵士乐界的拉赫曼尼诺夫了。虽然出身正统音乐学院，并曾于大学里任教，George Duke最为人所熟知的，却是毫不囿限于传统乐理包袱的多样乐风融合行径。
