WALT FOWLER'S GEORGE DUKE TRIBUTE

Last year, Steve Gadd released the second album of the Steve Gadd Band, "70 Strong". The album featured, among others, former Zappa-bandmember Walt Fowler on trumpet.
"70 Strong" not only features Walt Fowler, the album also presents 'Duke's Anthem', a tribute to the late George Duke, composed by Walt Fowler.

On DimeADozen, one can find a recording of the concert the Steve Gadd Band did in Austria on November 11, 2015. The band featured Walt Fowler and 'Duke's Anthem' was included in the setlist.

Here's a video recording of 'Duke's Anthem' from the Nefertiti Jazz Club in Gothenburg.
