George Benson

George Benson was playing smooth jazz twenty years before the genre was declared as a genre! I loved this track first time around so it was a natural choice for my smooth jazz guitar cover.

George Benson ---- Breezin'

"This Masquerade" is a song written by Leon Russell. It was a top-ten pop and R&B hit for jazz guitarist/vocalist George Benson, who recorded it on his 1976 signature album Breezin'. Neither Russell nor Benson recorded for Blue Note yet I contend that this song, had it been written in the Blue Note era would have found its way into the catalogue. Blue Note is a state of mind as much as a record label!
