Biography

So many times in contemporary popular music – in jazz, rock, blues, folk or beyond – the man with the guitar is the fulcrum on which all other sounds and voices hinge. He’s the core, the engine, the captain who leads and inspires the rest of the team.

George Benson has been that man for nearly a half century. In a career that spans five decades, more than 30 recordings as a leader and ten Grammy… Read more in Amazon's George Benson Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Benson's Jazz Years, February 24, 2007
This review is from: George Benson Live (The Early Years) (Audio CD)
If you are into " live " recordings with club-atmospheres ( a bottle or glass ringing now and than, some background mumbling etc. ) and musicians heating up the fire on all of these jazz-classics like on this early Benson recording, grap your chance to purchase this rather " rare " recording. Although it is not George in the driversseat all the time and numbers are faded when too long this cd will make you tap your feed.
For you jazz-guitar-aficionado's ear you will hear the old-warm-sound probably of his pre-Ibanez years. Does anyone out there recognize the pianoplayer George is supporting, none of the personel is mentioned in the linernotes. A " must have " for any serious jazz-cat who loves some hard-core swinging George Benson music that shows where his roots lie ...
I know it is hot these days to imitate / search for Benson's sound from this very period ...... chasing old work-horse-guitars and amplifiers, especialy overhere in Europe ...

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best..., April 2, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: George Benson Live (The Early Years) (Audio CD)
I think this is one of the very best cuts you get of George Benson. This shows why George Benson is one of the best jazz guitarists in history...burnin'!!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Question, March 23, 2001
By 
Celia Cummings (Big Bear City, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: George Benson Live (The Early Years) (Audio CD)
There are "two" George Bensons--the one who plays good jazz--e.g. on the Cookbook album, and then the one who plays syrupy pop. I can't tell from your 2 reviews here which category this one falls into. Can anyone tell me?
