Keyboardist/composer George Duke has been through a myriad of stylistic changes over his long career, from straight-ahead jazz to fusion to funk and R&B, not to mention being a key member of Frank Zappa's band for a while. The George Duke presented on this compilation is the slicker, more accessible one who enjoyed pop success as an R&B tunesmith and lite-jazz merchant. The smooth soul sound of the hit "Sweet Baby," recorded during Duke's partnership with Stanley Clarke, wouldn't sound out of place on a Maze album, while synth-flavored cuts "Corine" and "Love Reborn" are closer to Bob James/Dave Grusin territory. Duke took yet another detour in 1979 with his BRAZILIAN LOVE AFFAIR album, from which two cuts are included here, but the emphasis is on vocal-oriented mainstream R&B ballads delivered with a soft touch and a veteran craftsman's skill.
