George Duke In His Own Element, November 19, 2003
This review is from: Snapshot (Audio CD)
In an age dominated by vapid smooth jazz Duke (as at any time)
stood alone.Notably on "Fame","Keeping Love Alive" and the tital
tune George Duke's keyboard-addled blend of jazz and funk is very
much intact-much of "Snapshot" sounding like his previous album
"Night After Night" in 1989!On "Speak Low" and "Geneva" we also
here examples of Duke's work as a pure instrumentalist and on
the stomping "Bus Tours" he gives us NO DOUDT where his music
comes from.He is a dynamic fusion artist through and through and
no matter how time or music changes fasion George Duke always
keeps his signture smorgasboard of jazz,funk,R&B,rock and his
own unique way with the keys at the top of the mix.A fine moment
in a VERY long line of fine moments.

good album overall with one true gem, April 15, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Snapshot (Audio CD)
This is a good album overall, certainly pleasant and easy to listen to. The sole reason I bought it was for the track "No Rhyme, No Reason". The first time I heard the song, it was permanently burned into my mind. You just can't forget it. So even if every other song on the cd was terrible, it was well worth the money just for that one track. What a nice surprise to find that the rest of the cd justifies the purchase as well.

IN LOVE WITH NO RHYME NO REASON, August 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Snapshot (Audio CD)
I have been searching for this song for YEARS. I never knew it was by George Duke. What a beautiful melancholy song.. how it rings such a deep truth of my life. I absolutely LOVE musicians that can actually touch your heart and yes, make it physically ache. The lyrics to this song, the piano... my God it's fantastic. Such a great, sad song.
