Der Grammy-Gewinner George Duke widmet sein Album Dreamweaver seiner 2012 verstorbenen Frau Corine und gesteht: mein ehrlichstes Album seit mehreren Jahren.
Dreamweaver betont Eklektizismus, von swingenden Jazz und Funk bis zu Gospel beeinflusstem Pop und sinnlichen R&B Balladen. Wie der Titel schon sagt, vergleicht George Duke den Mix dieser Idiome zu einem klanglichen Teppich.
Mehr Instrumentals sowie eine stärkere Konzentration auf seine verschiedenen Synthesizer zeichnen dieses Album aus. Er vergleicht dies mit der stilistischen Dynamik des Lebens: Alles ist im Wandel - von heiß bis kalt, vom Leben zum Tod.
Unterstützt wird George Duke von einer illustren Besetzung von Musikern wie den Bassisten Christian McBride und Stanley Clarke, den Sänger / innen Teena Marie, Lalah Hathaway, Rachelle Ferrell, und Jeffrey Osborne, den Gitarrististen Paul Jackson, Jr. Jef Lee Johnson unter anderen.
Product Information
George Duke releases DreamWeaver, which he calls his “most honest album in several years.” The making of DreamWeaver occurred after his wife, Corine, passed away.
With assistance from an illustrious cast of musicians including bassists Christian McBride and Stanley Clarke; singers Teena Marie, Lalah Hathaway, Rachelle Ferrell, and Jeffrey Osborne; guitarist Paul Jackson, Jr. and Jef Lee Johnson; among others, DreamWeaver finds Duke emphasizing more instrumentals than in the past as well as concentrating more on his mastery on various synthesizers.
Like the bulk of Duke’s discography, DreamWeaver accentuates eclecticism with 15 tracks that range from swinging jazz and sweat funk to gospel-inflected pop and sensual R&B ballads. As the title implies, Duke likens mixing all of the idioms to weaving a sonic fabric. He also compares that stylistic dynamism to life. “Everything is in transition – from hot to cold, from life to death,” he philosophizes, “I wanted to incorporate that kind of thing and include a lot of things that are a part of my life.”
