CD Reviews

George at his best

L. Sprague | 07/21/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Benson is definately my favorite, and I think this is him at his absolute best. He was always a beast on the guitar, but this live recording really shows it. Any jazz guitarist must own this. The piano player is also amazing, especially on Witchcraft.

A Question

Celia Cummings | Big Bear City, CA USA | 03/23/2001

(3 out of 5 stars)

"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?"

Benson's Jazz Years

Enno Roosink | 02/25/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"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 ...
