Face the Music is the 26th studio album by American jazz musician George Duke. The album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Contemporary Jazz Albums chart and No. 7 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart. It reached No. 24 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart.
Lucy Tauss of JazzTimes favourably found "Keyboardist/producer George Duke inaugurates his new label, Big Piano Music, with Face the Music, an album filled with zesty, free-spirited, funk-fusion jams."
The Associated Press praised the album saying, "Duke, whose career spans nearly four decades, has a knack for timeless music, combining jazz, Brazilian jazz, funk R&B, even some gospel. Here, he enlists upright bass impresario Christian McBride, guitarist Jef Lee Johnson, drummer John "Lil' John" Roberts and Lenny Castro on percussion to accentuate his crisp, jazz-funk piano compositions. The entire disc is a winner..."
Buddy Blue of the San Diego Union-Tribune named Face the Music as one of his albums of the year.
