BetaFunk Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 [b] [b]Sounds interesting. Anyone seen or heard of this group/project?[/b][/b] [b].................................................................................................................................................................................................[/b] [b] Reach For It - the genius of George Duke[/b] [b] Friday 30 May @ Bulls Head Barnes, London[/b] Reach For It is a vivid musical celebration of the master keyboardist, composer all-round genius and great guy - George Duke (1946-2013). Tracing his work from the Zappa years as a key member of the Mothers through a glittering multi-album solo career, his heavyweight collaborations (Stanley Clarke, Billy Cobham, et al) and Montreux triumphs, Dukey's music provides a fantastic melodic canvas for these six wonderful players to express themselves. Expect impeccable ensemble musicianship of the very highest order, some rock - some funk - some jazz, with solos and vocals to take the breath away. Reach For It is: Kevin Leo on vocals - Renowned solo artist/soul & jazz singer Carl Hudson - keyboards/vocals (PB Underground, Sister Sledge, Average White Band, Jocelyn Brown) Kim Murray – guitar (Joyce Sims, Leroy Burgess, Carmen Rodgers) John McKenzie - bass (Bob Dylan, Tina Turner, Eurythmics, The Pretenders, Tom Scott, Seal, David Bowie) Karl Van den Bossche – percussion (Robert Palmer, Incognito, Brand New Heavies, Joss Stone, Sade) Geoff Dunn - drums (Van Morrison, Incognito, Joe Cocker, Donna Summer) Quote
