 "George,
haven't seen you since Cinncinatti when you played my Benedetto guitar for an
impromptu performance. It was an honour to meet you. What a sickening natural
ability you have for swing and groove - not to mention those blistering bop lines.
It's simply not fair! Here's to many more inspired performances and recordings
from you in the future - for purely selfish reasons frankly - I'm looking for
more phrases to steal!" - Chris
Standring |  "He
is one of the truly great jazz guitarists of our generation. He has the ideal
combination of effortless technique, unique sound, and soulful expression."
- Bob James |
 "George
Benson is simply put, one of the greatest musicians and entertainers of the last
century. He is one of a handful of individuals who truly defy categorization.
His technical and musical abilities are exceptional as well as unique his love
of all types of music is obvious in everything he does." -
Earl Klugh |  "George
and I go back over 30 years as friends. I've known him since the '60's of course,
since he was one of my all time favorite guitarists then, and still is. I recall
his playing with Brother Jack (McDuff) with the inimitable Joe Dukes." -
John McLaughlin |

"George
Benson served as a model to me and I think most of us not exactly in the notes
that he plays but in the way that he's maintained a career for 40 years and he
never compromised artistically. He reaches such a broad audience worldwide and
that makes it easier for all of us Jazz guitar players."
- Jake Langley
