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

 "In
the English dictionary the definition of the word hip, hipper and hippest
should
read: George Benson!! His musicianship plays an integral chord in
the Key of
Smooth! You've inspired me to keep groovin' George." -
Nura |  "I
have very fond memories of the times at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in New Jersey
where all the early CTI records were made back in the 70's. George was very often
a part of the closely knit group of musicians that Creed Taylor championed, and
I was able to watch as his star began to rise. It was obvious even in those days
that he would have a very special career." - Bob
James
