Jazz-fusion pioneer George Duke’s home and storied studio is for sale in Hollywood Hills

The Hollywood Hills estate of the late jazz great George Duke and its storied Le Gonks West recording studio is on the market at $2.999 million.

Jeffrey Osborne’s “On the Wings of Love,” Deniece Williams’ “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” and A Taste of Honey’s “Sukiyaki” are among the many hits made at the 1,400-square-foot studio on the home’s lower level.

The keyboardist-singer-composer-producer infused jazz with rock and funk elements during his five-decade career, winning a Grammy in 2000 for producing the Dianne Reeves album “In the Moment – Live in Concert.”

Duke, who died two years ago at 67, made about 30 solo albums. He also collaborated with such musicians as Al Jarreau, Stevie Wonder and Frank Zappa.
