He played on many Zappa albums.
RIP, George, and thanks for all the music.

Great recent interview:

http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/keys/george-duke-soul-treasures/videos-sounds-images/?content=1396

He's talking about a sample package he did, but also talks some personal history and shows some gear (including a clavinet with a whammy bar!)

Castlebar!

Here's one in action.  Voodoo Chile and Black Dog sound kinda whack, but I like the Back in Black/War Pigs medley around 1:38  :)

I hope he fuses well wherever he is now.

RIP Mr Duke

There is a new release of Roxy and Elsewhere coming out with bonus material. The band were very tight by the time they recorded the Helsinki concert but I think the stuff from the Roxy grooves a little more. Hope George is having a great jam on the other side.

Well, I was looking for something else to share elsewhere, but I found this and thought you would enjoy it.
