Best Of George Benson: The Instrumentals Reviews
| 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:  well thought out and excellent sounding compilation, By This review is from: Best Of George Benson: The Instrumentals (Audio CD) i love the concept of no vocals for this cd collection of benson's hits. i enjoy listening to well recorded jazz guitar and this fits the bill perfectly. the selections cover his work from 1976-1993. the selections are well spread out, not concentrating too much on any particular cd of his. just a good mix of his slow and uptempo numbers. included is "breezin'", an all-time classic. my favorites are two slow tempo romantic tracks, "tenderly" and "being with you". these tracks showcase the delicate touch george has with his guitar, not to mention the beautiful melody these tracks convey. this is my first benson cd and certainly not my last. the sound quality is excellent on this remastered edition from 1997. highly recommended! 9 of 12 people found the following review helpful: This CD Comes With Memories To Have And To Hold..., By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Best Of George Benson: The Instrumentals (Audio CD) In my opinion, "Breezin'" is the ultimate and the most precious of all George Benson's gems, and the most stunning track on this compilation CD. I remember the way my sister Debbie and I were 'going nuts' over this melody when it first came out in the late '70s and played the album (original platinum selling "Breezin'") over and over and over again and would repeat the track "Breezin'" quite a number of times that it must have broken our late father's turntable needle! (you remember that, don't you? And you were just too scared to tell Papa about it since he had been telling us to handle it with extra-care because the brand he used was so expensive and precious like diamonds!) Listening to this CD brings back a lot of memories and it's like being on a 'sentimental journey' to the past with my sister. "Breezin'" was the first album that got me hooked with the music of Mr. Benson. My sister and I collected most of his earliest albums. My sister stopped collecting...

I am new to jazz music (plus I am getting older) and while my taste in music has changed (for the best). I still know good music when I hear it, regardless of the genre. So when I say this is an excellent album for old and new jazz fans...Trust me!! This cd helped bridge me into Miles Davis and others, but is still old school enough to be real. I love this cd and you will, too. |
