ALBUM OF THE MONTH

George Duke "My Soul"

Album #79 is My Soul - The Complete MPS Fusion Recordings by George Duke.

This is a four CD set of George Duke albums that were originally released in the 70's. It was released this summer (2008) on the Promising Music label.

The collection includes the original MPS albums "Faces In Reflection", "Feel", "The Aura Will Prevail", "I Love The Blues, She Heard My Cry" and "Liberated Fantasies"…plus the two recordings "The Inner Source" and "Solus", that was first released as a double vinyl album set entitled "The Inner Source".
So what we get here is seven single albums on four CD's...remastered!

The music was recorded between 1971 and 1976 and we also get a lot of variation of musical styles; from jazzy piano trio to fusion and soul.

Keyboardist and vocalist George Duke has played with artists such as Frank Zappa, Billy Cobham, Jean-Luc Ponty and Cannonball Adderley and is also a well known record producer and musical director
