    One of my favorite all time tunes. Hard to believe critics gave George Benson's "Breezin'" album just a "C" rating back in 1976.

    It's amazing how you see these artist playing their craft at the the conventions and everyone walks these guys like they are homeless musicians who are in the street playing for pennies. The mentality of some people (you know what I mean) are totally amazing. I see the same reaction daily as i head for the elevator at work. If they knew anything about musicians they would know that was indeed Norman Brown a well accomplished musician.!

    The branches from George Benson's musical tree are everywhere. From really established players like Norman Brown and others all across the globe just have been so heavily influenced by him. The Smooth Jazzers have made a cottage industry out of his sound. Can't think of a finer tribute to one of the world's great guitarists.
