In the meantime, here’s some more details about the show:

Welcome to another episode of Continuum - A Journey Through Jazz . . . and the fourth part of an epic tribute to George Duke - tracing his career & 48 years of music over the course of four programmes.

In case you have not yet listened to the previous episodes – which you should, by the way, they are still free and available on the website . . . so, why not? The first in the series covered George Duke's formative years in straight ahead jazz from 1965 to '69 and then moving forward into soul jazz, rock & jazz fusion from 1969 to '75. The second episode covered 1976 to 1981 where he established himself as an unparalleled funk master with a secret weapon known as the Dukey Stick, along with expanding expertise in jazz Fusion, R&B & Brazilian music. The third episode picked up right around the time the music industry started to change due to drum machines & MTV in 1981 – and followed George’s forays into synth-pop, soul, R&B, and a great deal of production work for a whole lot of wonderful people throughout the 80’s . . . and on into the 90s.

This episode picks up in 1997 - the height of the "smooth jazz" era - when George decided to do his own thing, pursue his own sound, and start his own label . . . and continue to produce an eclectic blend of jazz, funk, soul and fusion.

This is yet another two and a half hour episode featuring over 30 songs – accompanied by history, information and anecdotes. The end result of all four episodes is an epic TEN HOUR series featuring over 115 songs from 83 different albums covering George's entire career, his personal evolution, and all the various styles in which he dabbled.

So - enjoy, share his legacy, and stay funky my friends. I'll miss you George, and I hope you and Corine enjoy dancing as we all listen, reflect and remember. R.I.P. my friend.

Agape y'all,
J. Scott Fugate, The Jazz Evangelist

Stereo, not stereotypical®

Enjoy!
