George Duke himself said of The Aura Will Prevail : "This album is my personal favorite from my days at MPS Records. I again see a lot of growth in myself as a musician". This taken from the website of the fusion jazz and R&B legend, who died in 2013.
The recordings are now available in unprecedented sound quality. The original analogue recordings from 1974 form the basis of Christoph Stickel's unobtrusive "refurbishing" which aims to avoid any artistic intervention. You, the valued listener, will be transported back into the sound engineer's chair at the time of recording.

George Duke is a master musician
This album is amazing.

A 70s fusion classic
The title of this review says it all. George Duke was one of the greats of his era and this is one of his best records. The playing is masterful and even Duke's R&B-leaning stuff with vocals is spot-on and not too syrupy. Mandatory for fans of jazz fusion.
