Very sad news about the great George Duke. He was a pioneer of jazz, funk, R&B, contemporary keyboard styles.

How sad...a GREAT loss to the jazz community. His family and extended music family should take some solace in the recognition of his great contribution to the wonderful field of music creation and performance.


He was a giant in my eyes.
