Talented Jazz artist George Duke has released his latest CD on the Bizarre Planet Entertainment recording label, entitled Face The Music.
It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.
Face The Music is a pleasantly varied, mix of 10 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist.
This is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it two thumbs up. It’s quite simply great listening. A must buy for the Jazz fan.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 4, Guess You’re Not The One. Outstanding!
