GB is a genius. He is a jazz guitar legend - among legends. Many try to sound like him but to no avail.There'll never be another George Benson. His backing awesome. Jorge Dalto and Ronnie Foster two of his mainstays.
I saw him perform feb 77 in Worcester Mass. His wife who sat next to met took us backstage to meet him. He mentioned how pretty my ex wife from Korea was. I immediately bought the Japanese Johnny Smith copy he played that night due to what I heard. That guitar was the heaviest guitar I ever had out of around 40.
Harvey Mason would have done this equally better in some of those George Benson smooth jazz classics if he were to be in that performance. He shined on the drums especially in the "Weekend in L.A." album release in 1979 live at the Roxy.
Hola, tengo 54 años y desde adolescente que aprendí a conocer este tipo de música y la verdad , George es, uno de mis favoritos, es un grande, lo admiro mucho hasta el día de hoy!! Saludos de Chile!!
WOW! The amazing George Benson and his Breezin band. I really appreciate this footage, the performance of "This masquerade" is the best live version I've ever watched on youtube. Thanks for share
George Benson heeft ook opgetreden in de Boerenhofstede in Laren. Het was daar zo knus, ik zat nog geen meter bij hem vandaan en heb ook met hem gesproken en een handtekening van hem gehad.
Damn... I got kicked out of church due to my poor tambourine playing, and this guy just plays it with his crusty foot? While playing bass? Wow. And look at George, with his lightning fast runs and octaves. Show off!
Que grandisimo músico de jazz completo que wings desprende del interior del alma como cautiva y como cuenta la melodia una perfección llena de magia de elegancia y de profesionalidad
Ronnie Foster on the keyboards. I think he used the Arp String Ensemble and the Moog keyboards at the same time. The Arp String keyboard was common in the 1970s not just for jazz fusion - but heavily used in 1970s disco.
@Stefani Sarah SXS Maar anders dan in Blokker waar de zoon van de burgemeester tien jaar lang een festival (met o.a. optredens van Louis Armstrong [2x zelfs], Jacques Brel en Benny Goodman) organiseerde om de kas van de lokale jongerenbeweging te spekken, was de Singer concertzaal (nu Singer Theater) een plek waar in de begintijd van de Nederlandse televisie veel tv-programma's werden opgenomen, o.a. Willem Duijs' Voor de Vuist weg en Mies en Scène. www.singerlaren.nl/historie nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singer_(Laren)
+karl Williams You couldn't be much of a Musician to make a statement like that about one of the greatest Jazz Vocalist and Musician of our time. Anyone who is a true Guitarist and Musician would already know Benson. If he didn't and listen to his music he would recognize Benson vocal talent which hailed among the best in the business. Your not recognizing that he is a multi talented Jazz and R&B Artist who has won Grammys as a vocalists as well as a Guitarists tells us you are a Novice. Benson is still performing all over the world at the age of 70 to sell out crowds who love his music. Just as Stevie Wonder is a great Key Board player and Vocalist. Benson is a great Vocalist and Guitarist. He does it now for the love of the Craft as he is Mega Wealthy. A true Musician would never make a statement like that .
