Bing books a funky Duke — George, that is
George Duke, the funky keyboard master associated with Frank Zappa, Michael Jackson and Miles Davis, has been booked into the Bing Crosby Theater for a show on Aug. 11.
Duke toured with the Mothers of Invention in the 1960s, played on Jackson's "Off the Wall" album, and produced Miles Davis' "Tutu" album.
Duke will be accompanied by a couple of other big names: David Sanborn and Marcus Miller.
Tickets are $41.50, on sale Thursday here.
