George Benson
George Benson isn’t just one of one of greatest guitarist in jazz history, but also a versatile and beloved performer with a catalog of chart-topping hits, including “On Broadway”, “This Masquerade” and “Give Me the Night.” At home in nearly any genre from jazz and pop to R&B, he’s had a string of Grammys since his first in 1977 for “Breezin’,” the first platinum-certified jazz album in history. This very special evening will be a look back at Benson’s remarkable career.
“The definitive modern jazz guitarist, whose bluesy, soulful grit and gospel-tinged singing made him a commercial and critical success.” – Allmusic.com
