I think it is going to be a George Duke weekend in my house

I have only known the music of George Duke for about 6 years, but mainly my listening experience has been from his After Hours, This is Jazz #37, A Brazilian Love Affair, and Duke albums. There was one album of his I have had on my mp3 player for a very long time, but never took the time to listen to it because at first, it sounded a little too experimental for my taste. The name of that album? Muir Woods Suite.
While I was working, I decided to just play all of his albums at random. What I heard was a musical variation that had me constantly checking my player to see if it was the same artist. Here are a few audio links from Napster for you to see what I am talking about:
