The North Sea Jazz Festival YouTube archive is the gift that keeps giving. That goes for Chaka Khan as well. I love saying her name in rapid fire succession. It doesn’t work for George Duke, but he was a member of my favorite edition of The Mothers, so I’ll cut him some slack.

Chaka Khan can do it all. We know her for her funk, soul, and R&B records and performances. In this 2009 set, she jazzes it up with George Duke and his crack combo. Her take on Them There Eyes is the cat’s ass. Meow.
