George Benson model by Ibanez
George Benson has always been one of my favorite guitarist.He is so soulful and his execution is right on.I have seen him and the band,they sounded so good.He actually played cuts off of the Breezin album note for note.
But if you want to hear the real Benson in his prime check out Cookbook or the song Oleo on the After Hours album.They are old and before the time that Benson's vocals were the main attraction.He blisters the whole way through,just blazing his way through with true jazz lines,making you dizzy!
Anyway,there is a free download at his site.So if you like the lighter side of jazz with some soul thrown in,check it out at Benson's site.And to get the blistering side of Benson,check out Cookbook.
And enjoy Smooth Jazzes site on other smooth jazz artist,like Peter White...
