George Duke – Faces In Reflection
The Japanese pressing of Faces in Reflection (catalog number ULS-6048-P) is a gem not only for its pristine vinyl quality and elegant packaging, but for capturing one of the boldest statements in jazz-funk fusion history. Released on MPS Records and reissued in Japan with the iconic obi strip and Japanese liner insert, this version stands out as a highly desirable collector's piece.
From the opening note, Faces in Reflection radiates high-level artistry. The interplay between these three masters is nothing short of electrifying. Duke’s solos are otherworldly, gliding between lush Rhodes textures and searing synth leads that remain completely grounded in groove. His command of space and melody — even when venturing deep into electronic territory — feels both futuristic and deeply rooted in soul and funk traditions.
Tracks like 'Psychosomatic Dung' and 'Faces in Reflection (No. 1 & 2)' serve as pure, high-octane jazz-funk workouts, with Ndugu Chancler’s drumming supplying rock-solid pulse and dynamic fire, while John Heard’s bass keeps things locked down with deep, melodic swagger. The trio format leaves no room to hide — and none is needed. Each player brings the full force of their creativity to the table.
