Description

Another equally anticipated release is Dreamweaver, the latest effort from keyboard legend George Duke. Following the devastating loss of wife Corine, to whom the album is dedicated, it was not sure when George would record again. Full of grief and despite repeated efforts, he was unable to create new music. That was until he went on a cruise and became inspired by seeing live bands and started writing immediately. The resulting album is what we’ve come to expect from George, a wide ranging album that includes elements of jazz, funk, gospel and R&B tinged songs. A goulash or gumbo as George likes to put it. 15 tracks drawing from all different styles of music woven together. Helping George are bassists Christian McBride and Stanley Clarke, vocals by Teena Marie, Lalah Hathaway and Jeffrey Osborne and guitarists Paul Jackson Jr. and Jef Lee Johnson – some of his last notes before he too passed away. Highlight tracks on his “most honest album in years” are “Happy Trails” and “Missing You” in tribute to George’s wife, “Ball and Chain” which is one of the last recorded vocals by Teena Marie, and “Change the World”, an all star vocal plea for global unity in the style of USA for Africa’s “We Are the World”. “Musicians need to talk about the issues of the day, realizing that the probability of making any kind of change in the world is more than likely a pipe dream anyway. But that doesn’t mean you can’t say it or act on it. Music should tell the truth,” Duke says and delivers on Dreamweaver.
