George Benson/PA,USA 1979

He played guitar on Miles Davis' Miles In The Sky in 1968, then moved to soul jazz, and in the late 1970s to fusion. However, it was during this period that George's unique guitar work became so funky that even Prince idolized him, and he also incorporated vocals and scat, becoming a one-of-a-kind presence. This live performance at The Spectrum on August 25, 1979, which could be said to be at the height of his power, was recorded on a soundboard that was digitally recorded directly from an aircheck tape. George's thrilling, melodic, and comfortable guitar resonates more than the later Quincy Jones production, and the vocals are so elegant and thrilling that they are ecstatic. He plays famous songs such as Weekend In LA and Masquerade, and you can enjoy George Benson, who is definitely in the realm of the gods, in his playing that shows the ease that is unique to this time. the Spectrum Philadelphia, Pa.
