Baby I Don’t Know – Duke ‘Duku’ Makasi

This song is reminiscent of the classic Motown funk/soul feel from the 1970s. It has great leanings towards triadic harmony with a great blues hint throughout. Our version is based on the recording by the Darius Brubeck Quartet from the album For Lydia and the Lion (2008)

This high-fidelity master features the complete trio—live drums, walking bass, and soulful keys—interweaving in a tight, authentic South African Jazz pocket. Perfect for live musicians to use as a reference for phrasing, arrangement, and capturing the specific “Mahogany Studio” swing before diving into the individual stems.
