We saw George play live at the Jazz Cafe in London two years ago and it was a truly memorable night. His genius as a keyboardist, composer, singer and producer have had a profound influence on the world of jazz and jazz-funk and he's left us with a body of work to cherish. 

This mix features a selection of our favourite George Duke compositions, a live performance of 'Reach For It' with Marcus Miller on bass, and a wonderful keys solo. Here's the tracklist. Long live The Duke.
