George Benson-Breezin’

Bought this record a few years ago at the store in Mohnton. More Jazz Pop or Smooth Jazz, this was a big seller in 1976. The title track is an Easy Listening favorite. I think I heard it at my dentist’s office earlier this year. Edited from the 8 minutes on the record, the single ” This Masquerade”, a Leon Russell song, was a top 10 hit. The album won a couple Grammys. The other songs were a bit more energetic. I liked “Affirmation”, a Jose Feliciano song, and “So This Is Love?” written by Benson. They feature some good guitar solos by Benson. “Six To Four” has some nice electric piano by Ronnie Foster. An initial pressing from 1976 that sounds pretty good.
