A curious happenstance in 1966 triggered the partnership between MPS head Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer and George Duke. Brunner-Schwer was in San Francisco to record the Art van Damme Quintet. After finishing the recording session one evening, he and his team strolled over to a club called the Jazz Workshop. Les McCann was supposed to be playing, but this particular day was his day off. Instead, a 20 year old pianist, still involved in his studies, was performing with his quartet. The music's freshness so enthralled the German that he set up a recording session on the spot. This encounter between George Duke and Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer in sunny California was both accidental and noteworthy. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt turned out to be the jazzy prologue to future events: five years later the American began his fusion-infused sessions for the man from Germany's Black Forest. The six albums of this series still count as a fascinating and essential part of George Duke's life's-work and canon of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAu Right\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFunny Funk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's What She Said\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Opening\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCapricorn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDawn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeeing You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomeday\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeels So Good\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove Reborn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUncle Remus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCora Jobege\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFoosh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheme from the opera 'Tzina'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNorth Beach\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55136534036865,"sku":"1569801","price":12.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41VWNVwLmcL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767212699","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1569801","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
