The 1976 Solo Keyboard Album
by George Duke
(1976)
This album was not released until 1982 as a result of a lawsuit I brought against MPS to prevent them from releasing the record in the US. I wanted to have this last album that was recorded for MPS, released by Epic Records in the States.
The term, "solo" for this record, means I played all the instruments. It is mostly an acoustic piano record, but a few cuts have drums and synthesizers. Yes, I played the drums. I'm no drummer, but with the help of Chester Thompson (Zappa's drummer who eventually joined Phil Collins and Genesis), I got through it.
