Brunner-Schwer was in San Francisco to record the Art van Damme Quintet. After finishing the recording session one evening, he and his team strolled over to a club called the Jazz Workshop. Les McCann was supposed to be playing, but this particular day was his day off. Instead, a 20 year old pianist, still involved in his studies, was performing with his quartet. The music's freshness so enthralled the German that he set up a recording session on the spot. This encounter between Duke and Brunner-Schwer in sunny California was both accidental and noteworthy. It turned out to be the jazzy prologue to future events: five years later the American began his fusion-infused sessions for the man from Germany's Black Forest. The subsequent albums cut from those sessions still count as a fascinating and essential part of George Duke's life's-work and canon of the genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"George Duke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54630039486836,"sku":"42684527","price":8.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/7449\/0228\/files\/4096327-3157279.jpg?v=1779262256","url":"https:\/\/shnjsx-hj.myshopify.com\/products\/george-duke-the-best-of-mps-years","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
