Title: Great Vinyl and tracks. Just not in brand new condition.
Review: Another Vinyl seller that does not have these in the freshest condition. Although this one is better than the Minus The Bear Menos El Oso Special Edition Vinyl I purchased, it’s still a bit waning from fresh Vinyl but this one works well.

Title: Legendary Guitar Player, Most Popular Album
Review: George Benson is the gold standard in guitar players, by any aficionado standard. This album launched his career into popular culture legend, whereas many in the jazz world knew and followed his music for some decades prior to this release. The big hit, This Masquerade, is the feature cut, with the Benson scat guitar stylings bringing the highest praise from both pop music and jazz fans alike. There are other cuts that feature his guitar mastery, as well as the accompanying band of jazz masters. If you are a fan of George Benson the jazz master, this is a must-have. If you’re a fan of the George Benson who took over the smooth jazz scene, it’s a must-have.

Title: Wonderful dynamic mastering of a classic jazzy masterpiece!
Review: My purchase was the version currently selling in the $4 price range sold by Amazon. It’s a U.S. Warner Records reissue with a disc made in Germany. Uses an older master so it’s full of dynamics and wonderful, clear sound. If you like this album, you cannot go wrong at the current price.

Review: ‘Breezin’ is a beautiful tune with a great flute intro and George’s brilliant guitar playing! This tune never gets old and it’s definitely a ‘Smooth Jazz’ classic! ‘This Masquerade’ is a beautiful yet sad song and it’s my favorite song as well as the title track; George’s vocals and guitar playing are absolutely superb! ‘Six To Four’ is a nice tune with a nice melody; ‘Affirmation’ is another nice tune with a nice melody; ‘So This Is Love?’ is a lovely tune and it reminds me of a summer afternoon; not too hot but warm. ‘Lady’ is another lovely tune and I truly enjoyed the guitar playing of George Benson and his guest musicians very much. George Benson is probably the best as well as gifted musician since Jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery! I already have the CD but it’s worn out and I also have the album on Vinyl. Thank you, Mr. Benson, for creating a masterpiece of an album!

Review: ベンソンは米国ピッツバーグ生まれのフュージョン系ギタリスト(&ヴォーカリスト)。本作製作当時は32歳。1976年の出世作にして初のビッグヒット・アルバム。自分が1977年大学時代の部活合宿で初めて行った夏の軽井沢。その夏の高原リゾートのカフェで、また夜の若者向けバーみたいなところで、あるいはセンパイのクルマで、いたるところで流れていたのを思い出します。それでアマゾンでみつけてなつかしくて42年ぶりにかってしまいました。2曲目のマスカレードがグラミー賞のRecord of the yearに輝きました。これも傑作でしょう。しかし、やはり、なんといっても、1曲目のタイトルナンバーでしょう。。。若き日の夏の高原リゾート地。そこを駆け抜けていくそよ風のような爽快さ。。。永遠のフュージョン・スタンダード・ナンバー。珠玉作です。また出会えて感動です。星は5つしかつけようがありません。

Review: Ich bin beruflich oft mit dem Zug über länge Entfernungen unterwegs und arbeite dann am Laptop. Um mich nicht von anderen Fahrgästen ablenken zu lassen, höre ich immer Musik über einen MP3 Player mit guten in ear Kopfhörern, meistens so genannten “Smooth Jazz” verschiedener Interpreten. George Benson hatte ich zum ersten Mal auf Accu Radio im Internet gehört. Er macht für meine Zwecke hervorragende Musik, die einem ins Ohr geht, ohne einen zu vereinnahmen.Auch beim Sport (Cross Trainer, Krafttraining) höre ich diese Musik gerne (habe mittlerweile mehrere CDs von George Benson, gefallen mir alle gleich gut), da sie mich nicht beansprucht, sondern entspannt.Kaufempfehlung.

Review: Enfin cet album magnifique a le traitement qu’il mérite.La production d’origine était déjà un modèle mais avec la remasterisation on touche au sublime.Le livret est très bien, et les bonus excellents.Comme un commentateur sportif, je ne vais pas tarder à être à cours de superlatif, aussi je me contenterais de recommander chaudement ce bijou auditif, qui serait obligatoire si j’étais dictateur.au fait, la musique est bien.
