were can i get the complete concert? im trying to find it... if you could help me out i've searched under mccoy tyner too.. to see if i can buy it.. saludos
I must admit i have never in all my expierience (as a regularly performing Jazz guitarist) never even seen a guitarist with a pedal plugged in let alone with intent to use it. He is a very fine player, a very, very fine player, you don't need to clutch at straws like "no effects" to prove that.
@codyr222 it's just a difference of opinions and taste... I drool when GB gets crazy and flies off the handle.... I'm sure Theloneous would appreciate GB's solo in this video because monk wasn't much of an orthodox guy himself
WTF are you talking about???? this is not a modal piece.. these are Monk's tune with his chords/changes. not much arrangement, this all improv off the standard changes. its a great contrast with his very bluesy and smoky guitar and McCoy's nimble band percussive style and succinct solo too.
What's wrong with comparing? Humans are not 1 dimensional, i'm sure everybody here listened and enjoyed what they heard; and sometimes jazz IS like a boxing match. I'm sure you've heard of trading 8's?
The group behind GB is playing way too busy behind Benson as he solos, especially the drummer, who is overplaying massively. The bassist, Avery Sharpe, Tyner's usual bassist, is very talented so I don't know why he is overplaying so much. Lay back, fellas... let the song breathe a little.
perfekt playing with a few derb components in expression, but sorry for that... with no feeling for the spirit of the song....., too much notes, why such a genius in guitare must show every time what he is able to play. its not necessary

George Benson is one of the great guitarists. Love his feel and technique. One of my favorites.
The way he drops the melody in and plays around it...He's the greatest ever, so fluid.
Just so, so good. No superlatives can match that peerless fluidity of technique, tone and originality. Benson forever!
George Benson plays with a wreckless abandonment..... And I freaking LOVE IT!!!!
I love all the rhythmic variation in Benson's lines. Those little triplet flourishes are amazing.
Noone can ask for more than cool George, so great and prepered !!!!!!
An astounding display of technical virtuosity. George Benson is the Paganini of the guitar.
Long live George and McCoy!!
George benson is awesome and it's good to see him in a setting where he's not doing his "smoother" poppier stuff, which I like sometimes
this video is amazing!
his ideas keep flowing... incredible
complete mastery of the guitar!
He is the master of all time.....more than just gimme the night
al others just copy
and he copies from wes, but thats ok. music comes and goes, its a natural thing.
Man, that is one hell of a guitar strap, lol! Love GB, awesome, awesome player.
there is only one way to this is... a lifes passion that drive this . this shadow i could only hope for.Immense beyond measure!
nature can only judge.
quelle classe !!
It's an Ibanez 2461NT, a Johnny Smith L5-copy from the seventies. Very, very good guitar.
George Benson, Joe Pass, Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, ... that's my list! And they're almost all from Philly. Imagine that.
were can i get the complete concert?
im trying to find it... if you could help me out
i've searched under mccoy tyner too.. to see if i can buy it..

My goodness! Just seems like he's playing Giant Steps blind folded!..👍
Awesome!

@mrmilesdavisable George Benson played with Miles. I think he was on one tune on a Mile Davis album called Miles in the Sky.

George is a virtuoso you can actually listen to.
Stanley Jordan - Montreal Jazz festival
2:03 - 2:12

Aaron Scott Drums- Avery Sharpe- Bass
Le velocine di UltraBenson
No doubt GB is killer.....if you like this try Scotty Anderson chops meister extraordinaire!! or Robert Conti...also great
And again at 2:33 - 2:44
benson's chops are just nasty
It's an Ibanez copy of Gibson's Johnny Smith guitar. A very nice guitar, but they stopped making them.

🖐️👌👋
Benson is no Wes. Benson eclipses Wes !!!
