Delivered in Ibanez hardshell case George Benson is a jazz guitarist, singer and composer born on March 22, 1943 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. He recorded his first album, The New Boss Guitar, in 1964, at the age of 21. In 1965, he began a solo career with the George Benson Quartet. His talent was then noticed by Miles Davis, who employed him on the 1967 album Miles in the Sky.
His career really took off in the second half of the 1970s, in a jazz-funk-westcoast vein, with the albums Breezin (which won 3 Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year for the song "This Masquerade") and In Flight (1977), emblematic of Benson's highly distinctive guitar playing, which simultaneously sings the notes of the solos he improvises, with jazz phrasing over funk rhythm and arrangements.
The high point of his career was the album Give Me the Night, produced by Quincy Jones (1980), and the song of the same name, which made George Benson a household name.
