Released during his legendary tenure with the MPS label, this album captures Duke at his most experimental and groovy, blending intricate keyboard mastery with a soulful, adventurous spirit. It remains a cornerstone of the 70s fusion era, celebrated by jazz purists and funk enthusiasts alike.

The record is a vibrant journey through sound, anchored by the high-energy fusion of "Funny Funk" and the sophisticated, multi-layered textures of the title track "Feel." A major highlight is the appearance of Frank Zappa (credited as "Obediah Backforth") on guitar, adding his signature avant-garde grit to the tracks "Love" and "Old Slippers." From the driving, syncopated rhythms of "Cora Jobege" to the soaring synthesizer solos on his ARP Odyssey, the album highlights Duke's incredible versatility. On vinyl, the rich production shines, bringing out the punchy basslines and the lush, analog warmth of the vintage keyboards.

"Feel" is an essential LP for any serious jazz-fusion or funk collection. It is an album that refuses to be boxed into one genre, offering a masterclass in musical freedom and technical brilliance. Whether you’re a long-time devotee of Duke or discovering his celestial grooves for the first time, this record is a mandatory high-fidelity spin.
