"I
was waiting to hear it. As a young musician I heard the sound vaguely in my head
but it was raw and undefined. I knew that what I wanted to hear had deep straight-ahead
jazz roots and at the same time was modern, funky and soulful. Then I heard George
Benson and there it was everything I had been waiting for. Before I had "officially"
decided to become a guitar player, George Benson was playing at a nearby club.
I was waiting on tables at the time and couldn't afford a ticket. It was pouring
rain so I ducked under an awning and peered through the crack in the door. Luckily
Mr. Benson was in my direct line of sight. Two exhilarating hours later, I didn't
know it, but the seeds of my future had been firmly planted that night."
- Joyce Cooling | "George
Benson is without a doubt the pre-eminent guitarist of our day. He combines the
jazz mastery and legacy of Wes Montgomery and Charlie Christian with a pop sensibility
that could only belong to one of the great pop singers of the last 3 decades.
From the moment I heard him play when I was 16 years old up to and including today
he is one of the major musical influences on my guitar playing and musicianship
in general. George; You are the man!" - Chuck Loeb |
