George Benson - Breezin' Get ready to groove 'cause this is smooth jazz at its absolute finest...
@SVG__Collection This was on the album with "This Masquerade", which featured his vocals. I was floored-"this guy can SANG". I had already been a fan, having acquired Good King Bad, which I listened to over and over. This one was next level.
@SVG__Collection Two of my favorites: George Benson and Chick Corea.
@SVG__Collection WNIC, stuff Can't argue about the talent, though. Is that Chick Corea?
@SVG__Collection Remember when that came out, ab't the same time Al DiMeola was knocking out albums. Thought Benson was entitled to get paid even if his fans thought he was selling out. That said, I thought it was easy listening. Good easy listening, no doubt, but easy listening all the same
@SVG__Collection Five Years before... youtu.be/ibhh_z6pG6c?si…
@SVG__Collection This from the 1976 Downbeat Poll Winners show. The face Chick is making cracks me up.

@SVG__Collection What a great lineup! Not just George, but Chick, Stanley, and that looks (and sounds !) like Billy C.!
@SVG__Collection Certified triple-platinum. No. 1 on the Billboard album chart in 1976.
@SVG__Collection That band is like the ‘27 Yankees lineup!
@SVG__Collection Yes I am so fond of it to me it’s iceskating outside at night with fireworks
@SVG__Collection Timeless groove.
@SVG__Collection Heard him play this in Boston in the 70’s #PaulsMall
@SVG__Collection Nasty guitar work over a killer rhythm section. This shreds!
@SVG__Collection The album that first got me into jazz aged 17 - close to 50 years ago 🫣! Thanks, George
@SVG__Collection @InsideHBCUFball :15 second mark oh my
@SVG__Collection Love it. Who's on the drums?
@SVG__Collection Que delícia 👌🏻
@SVG__Collection I still own the album and the CD
@SVG__Collection Oh hell yea, man such a gifted guitarist
@SVG__Collection Heard him play this in Central Park NYC😍
@SVG__Collection Legendary Benson! 'Breezin’' is pure magic—takes me back to my first jazz concert.
@SVG__Collection I absolutely love George Benson
@SVG__Collection I've always enjoyed listening to him. This is a beautiful track.
