  • 2007, Was a very successful year for guitarist Norman Brown. With over 200 concerts per years ever since and the release of his CD "Stay With Me" early the same year, reestablish him as one the most requested smooth jazz artist.
    I was lucky enough to be selected by his record label to interview him in person and I couldn't resist to ask him about his connection and direct friendship with his hero and musical tutor, guitarist George Benson. This interview and live performance of Norman Brown, will tell you everything and even thing that you never knew about him.
    Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it for you...
    This Video features:
    George Benson: Guitar
    Norman Brown: Guitar
    Gerald Albright: Alto Sax
    Boby Lyle: Piano
    Michael O'Neal: Guitar
    Stanley Banks: Bass
    Michael White: Drums

    Mann.. Never dreamt I'd see George Benson and Norman Brown on the same stage playing together. I have almost all of George's albums and almost all of Norman's albums. From I first heard of Norman Brown back in 1994 I said to myself I'd love to see Norman and his mentor George Benson trading riffs and solos. Almost 30 years later look what I am experiencing!? Benson looks so happy alongside Norman and Norman never drop the ball. No ego displayed here, just true musicians at their A game.
    Truly love this. 💯🙏🏾

    First I've heard of Norman. Seems cool and enthusiastic; I like this guy. You can certainly see the GB influence - from the Ibanez to the classic George Benson style guitar strap, to some of his licks. But I like his attack; it's aggressive and fresh. One of the greatest things about GB is his acceptance of other players; his complete interest and excitement in other approaches. He's completely ego-less - and encourages young players of all styles. And why not; nobody is going to be another George Benson.

      I 1st saw Norman Brown on Video Jukebox back in the day......he had signed with Motown's Mojazz label.....they showed a concert of his "After the Storm" album.......I said to myself, "this is a serious guitar player here".......he brought Jimi, Wes, and George Benson into the modern times, but he put his own twist to it........😏

George Benson, Norman Brown , Gerald Albright, George Duke ,Ronald Boo Hinkson , Al Jerreau , did i miss anyone . What a fantastic show that was .George Benson was the standout among that great line up of artist.

      They gotta sit down and LISTEN.......ask themselves, "I wonder what was going on in his life during the time he made this album?", "who played on this cut?", "who's THAT cat?", "has he done anything else?", who's Charlie Chriatian? Kenny Burrel? Django Reinhart? Wes Montgomery? Joe Pass? Big Bill Broonzy? Hubert Sumlin? Buddy Guy? Otis Rush? T Bone Walker? Albert King, u know?🤔

    This made me smile, Norman's like, George is my hero so I learned all his licks... Understatement of the century. That's like saying, heh I like to sing so I took on Marvin Gaye. No one covers Marvin, least of all on his own song. George is a prodigy, arguably the greatest popular jazz player of all time, so I would say that at least makes Norman a genius for getting in the same ball park. A great talent he is. Thanks former the upload.
