Musical Style: Contemporary/Smooth Jazz
George Benson has pioneered the style of contemporary and modern jazz guitar winning 10 grammy awards and has been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"This is my tribute to one of the greatest jazz guitarist, singer and songwriters ever known in the modern contemporary jazz world.
I was energized meeting George Benson and every time that I had the opportunity to sit down with this amazing man his words and wisdom ingrained within me many possibilities to my guitar playing. So I decided to pay tribute to the man George Benson and his musical achievements. I first heard Mr. Benson play when I was 14 years old and been in awe watching him ever since. Let’s celebrate this amazing guitarist with billboard charting guitarist Gregory Goodloe Friday June 13.
