JSngry Posted March 6, 2019 Author Report Posted March 6, 2019 In real time, I found this one to be a little too transparent in its derivations to be fully enjoyable. Still feel that way, but with time and experience comes a perhaps more nuanced understanding of evolution, career paths, and all that good stuff, so let's just say that I appreciate this more now than I did then, without liking it any whole lot better. George Duke was a creative guy with amazing chops, endless abilities, and no really focused organic musical identity. That's not a criticism, just an observation. The world needs people like that, they make significant contributions to other people's musics and are more than capable of making interesting/fun work on their own that will never be wholly unique. This is that. Oh yeah, need to add that the amazing number of different derivations that Duke was absorbing - and processioning very knowingly - would be enough to paralyze (or even kill!) a lesser man with a slower mind and/or a weaker spirit.
