Ten time Grammy winner George Benson is one of the greatest guitarists in jazz history and also an amazingly versatile musician. He can play in just about any style – from swing to bop to R&B and pop – with supreme taste. However, he is better known to the world as a pop/R&B singer. His songs “Turn Your Love Around”, “Give Me The Night” and “This Masquerade” are world famous. His new album Songs and Stories released in August 2009 is a collection of tunes penned by some of the most prolific and enduring songwriters of the last half-century, including James Taylor, Smokey Robinson, Lamont Dozier, Bill Withers, Donny Hathaway and several others. Some were written specifically for this new recording, while others were hand-picked by Benson for their ability to convey simple, but universal truths about the human experience. Indeed, the record captures the somewhat underappreciated, essential brilliance of Benson’s storied career; the ability to simply touch people through authentic lyrics and beautiful melody. On Songs and Stories, George Benson's musical artistry has perhaps never been on sharper display.
