He's a great player & generous in sharing his knowledge. I was watching him at a concert once & really impressed with how he smoothly, or magically, went from picking to fingerstyle & back so often within single songs. So smooth & unlike any player I'd seen before. I asked him later at the autograph session how he did it so well and, with no hesitation, he broke it down for me. He even gave me the pick & watched me try it out. A Great Guy !!!
This guy has a very positive take on music. I hear Montgomery and Benson in his tone and phrasing. Hearing a cat this good talking about aspiring to reach levels above where you are, Priceless!
For incredible records! Boss guitar first Wes Record ,All I listen to for six months. George Benson cookbook. I’ve heard Mr. Malone play live incredibly fine guitar player. Thank you Mr. Malone
I have a few of his CDs, beautiful player. This is the first time I have heard him in an interview. He seems like a really nice guy. Hope to hear him play live some day.
oh well, hell yeah, those are the albums that I bought too - George Benson Cook Book and "Its Uptown" with the George Benson Quartet. But then remember what he said about first hearing Pat Martino in some uptown club in the day... "if this is what New York is like, I gotta get outta here" LOL 🔥
Great interview with a great man.
i love this. it illustrates the LINEAGE of all of this stuff!
Thanks for a beautiful interview. This guy knows who he is, and what he's doing - too rare.

Thanks for sharing that... He's a heavyweight!
I had a chance to see him play tonight. He kindly invited me to his sold out show. I should have gone. Very talented.
Dear Russell...may you rest peacefully.
very humble ... sweet man!
