Name: Maiden Voyage ---- Herbie Hancock (downloadable) by Benny Sutton in Herbie Hancock
Duration: 4 min 11 s
Description: Not a lot happens on this track. It just gets in the groove and stays there. It's a modal Jazz structure and I use the guitar not like a guitar solo, though it is solo notes. More like the feel John McLaughlin goes for on one of Miles Davis tracks. Like the track Shhh/Peaceful on the In a Silent Way album.

Amazing horns coming in, completing the mood of mystical reflections that you give it with the "thoughtful" guitar. Good voyage, Benny!

I Kissed A Girl Just Like You

I wrote a Christmas Song!

A Case of You is arguably one of the greatest breakup songs ever
Joni is eloquent and poetic ode to long-time lover Graham Nash
It is a tale of star-crossed lovers, great Love, found and lost
Originally on the Blue album
There are over 300 known cover versions of it, by 300 artists (now 301) including Prince
All found something they could make their own

A Case Of You by Joni Mitchell Ft. Sam B.

Have a John Lennon Christmas!

Is River by Joni Mitchell the best Christmas song ever?
It was off the 1973 'Blue' Album and amazingly was never released as a single.
Nor was it a Christmas song, it was a sad love song about her breakup with Graham Nash.
It just got so much airplay it grew into a classic that gets played very holiday season.

ABOUT ME
I play the music I like to listen to. 
As a guitarist I like to think I have my own style.
Harmony, and the groove is what I'm chasing, hopefully with a tasteful, nuanced, and distinctive presentation. 
I don't have a genre as such. I could sort of call myself a smooth Jazz 'n' Blues guitar 'thang' but in reality every track crosses over multiple strands of R&B/Jazz/Funk/Pop. Don't be put off by my use of the "J" word. Jazz to me is anything unpredictable and I'm nothing if not contemporary. 
Rhythm playing is as much a part of my "game" as lead soloing. I love the Funk!
My main instrument is guitar. I play a 1973 Ovation Breadwinner, an Ibanez nylon stringed and a Yamaha keyboard loaded with Keyscape. Unless stated I play all the other instruments too (mostly Bass), and sequence MIDI and arrange/produce. 

MY JOURNEY
I was signed with Fresh Air records and EMI in the 1980's creating Jazz/funk dance tracks but things were just as challenging then as they are now for musicians so I got a 'proper job' for 20 years! During all that time my guitar was in the loft! I rediscovered music in 2010 and Soundcloud in 2014.


MY SOUNDCLOUD
I am grateful to Soundcloud listeners who take the time to press |>Play - and especially if you give me some feedback :-)
I hope what you hear will draw you in sufficiently to explore on my own website. Nearly all my original stuff (6 albums worth) are on www.BennySutton.com and all are downloadable.
Please don't follow me in hope of getting to get an automatic follow back. I don't do that because I only follow the smallest number of people I can keep track of. I'll have a look at your page but will only follow back if you are really of interest to me. See my follow list, you'll discover some very talented artistes, many of whom I have been lucky to Collab. Soundcloud really is the place to find the real innovators these days - not the music industry approved channels, especially MTV!
If you want to get my attention, send me a PM.
