George Benson: Breezin' (Warner Bros. K56199)
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, 15 June 1976
ALTHOUGH GUITAR star George has been around for some years and is acknowledged by most jazz musicians to be the number one guitarist of them all, it is really only with this album that he has finally made the breakthrough on record. His string of albums with CTI were well received and always achieved jazz acceptance but this rather more progressive set has carried him right to the top of not only the jazz listings (where he literally stands at No. 1) but also the soul and pop charts.
