George Duke, "Dukey Treats"

Veteran keyboardist and producer George Duke remembers a time when funk was a powerful force – not just in popular music but in social discourse.

Duke invokes that same combination of wit and wisdom in Dukey Treats (HUCD 3143), his debut on BPM/Heads Up International set for worldwide release on August 26, 2008.
