The Best Of The MPS Years presents you all the classics and highlights of George Duke's time at the Black Forest label on one album. A curious happenstance in 1966 triggered the partnership between MPS head Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer and George Duke. 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 George Duke and Hans Georg 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 six albums of this series still count as a fascinating and essential part of George Duke's life's-work and canon of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216780894450,"sku":"MPSR215892.2","price":17.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/4096326-3157226.jpg?v=1778927848","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/duke-george-best-of-mps-years-music-cd-4029759158929","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
