George Benson
Absolute Benson
(Universal)
The absolute craft-master of jazz guitar delivers another worthy collection of styles, that crossover from Donny
Hathaway's 'The Ghetto' with it's companion piece 'El Barrio' that have strong Latino leanings, to the Wes
Montgomery influenced 'Deeper Than You Think'. Also featured is Benson's interpretation of Stevie Wonder's hit
'Lately' that revives memories of George's album 'Breezin'. Session musicians include Joe Sample (The
Crusaders), Ricky Petersen, Steve Gadd, Luis Conte and Christian McBride. This is one of Benson's finest albums since Breezin and Give Me The Night
