~ Notes / Reviews ~

This is a jazzy, soulful, and slightly funky instrument compilation of George Benson's earlier work featuring some of the jazz greats of the era:

Herbie Hancock. piano, Ron Carter, bass, Billy Cobham, drums, Johnny Pacheco, congas and more.

The set starts off with some fine and mellow hard bop and progresses into a lighter groove mixed with a more jazzy beat. This compilation will appear to fans of straight-ahead jazz, easy listening jazz (mood music, cocktail/mellow jazz) and uptempo jazz (lil' taste of funk).
