About Preview: George Duke
A 15 minute short film capturing George Duke and his band in performance at the Roxy Theater on the Sunset Strip. Duke's manager, Herb Cohen, asked filmmaker Josh Morton to film the musician's set and make a short film, which CBS Records sent to Europe to play on Scopitone film jukeboxes.
Directed by Josh Morton, Preview: George Duke leans on a strong ensemble — George Duke, Sheila E., Charles Foster Johnson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1971.
