"One of the great guitarists of all time, an instantly recognizable player, soulful, expressive, great chops and he sings too!" I really got into George during his CTI period both as a leader and a sideman. One of my favorite albums is "Bad Benson" especially the track "My Latin Brother" which I used to cover with my group way back when. "Beyond the Blue Horizon", "White Rabbit" and "Benson & Farrell" are great albums too. I also loved his playing on the Freddie Hubbard album "First Light" and I remember transcribing his solo on the title track back in my school days. "Congratulations on the lifetime achievement award George; your music has brought great joy to musician's and music fans the world over." - Brian Hughes
