More George Benson
More Jazz Recordings Featuring the Guitar
- Superb sound throughout this vintage pressing, with both sides earning Double Plus (A++) grades or BETTER
- Tubey Magical richness and plenty of note-like bass are two of the important qualities that separate the winners from the also-rans, but smooth, grain-free, present vocals for “This Masquerade” are a big part of the best pressings too, so make that three important qualities
- This copy will blow the doors off your old copy or any MoFi pressing — guaranteed!
- It’s got all the elements this smooth masterpiece needs to come to life today, almost 50 years later if you can believe it
- You hear right into the music, something that is only possible on the most transparent copies – exactly the quality that the modern Heavy Vinyl reissue cannot reproduce
- Marks and problems in the vinyl are sometimes the nature of the beast with these vintage LPs – there simply is no way around them if the superior sound of vintage analog is important to you
- If like us you’re a fan of jazz guitar, this is a killer album from 1976 that belongs in your collection.
This album features the huge hit “This Masquerade” and lots of other strong material as well. Benson is at the top of his game, with blazing guitar lines accompanied by his scat vocals at many times. No one else ever did music like this so well again, in our humble opinion.
