It may be a little different, but it will resurface. That&#8217;s kind of what this album is &#8211; a resurfacing of some ideas I had back in the &#8217;70s when I recorded albums with a lot of synthesizers, like <em>Feel <\/em>and <em>The Aura Will Prevail<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><strong><em>D\ufffdj\ufffd Vu<\/em><\/strong> features guest performances by trumpeter Nicholas Payton, flutist Hubert Laws and saxophonist Bob Sheppard.<\/p>\n<p><font><br \/><?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George DukeD\ufffdj\ufffd Vu Heads Up &#8211; 2010 Keyboardist-composer-producer George Duke<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4459\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
