New Orleans, Louisiana – Emerging drummer and visionary artist, Washington Duke, debuts his first single, “I Only Have Eyes for You.” The track, part of his debut album, exudes a moody, spacious quality that feels as if it were pulled from a film noir soundtrack— a fresh yet familiar sound with echoes of classic jazz. “To me, jazz has always captured a feeling, a place, or a moment in time,” Duke shares. This song showcases Duke’s ability to balance tradition and innovation, blending the warmth of early 60s jazz influences with his own cinematic sensibility.
The result is an immersive soundscape that honors the song’s legacy while offering a uniquely personal and modern interpretation. With a patient, spacious approach, he breathes new life into the song, evoking a sense of timelessness while enveloping listeners in a world of shadowed melodies and subtle textures.
