turn your love a-rround
"world is a ghetto" and "this masquerade" are sort of killing it though. these days it looks as if he has had a face lift and the bebop and hard fusion days are long gone but the man deserves props for sure.
btw he only plays with 3 fingers on his left hand which in itself pretty damn cool considering the fast runs he pulls off.
btw, is that really him on that album? sounds nothing like him.
Welcome back, dolo.
YES!!!
On an unrelated note, who has this:
yeah for the most part the album is wack. Smokin Chiba Chiba is the only good cut off it.
Y'all forgettin White Rabbit and Octane..........
This is a decent record. Not a huge Benson fan but he has some songs i can get down with.
I've heard enough people around this city take their shots at him, on a personal level,
but musically, I love this guy. My favorite stuff is probably early quartet stuff, like that Cookbook thing. But absolutely no fronting whatsoever on BREEZIN
I'm not ashamed to say this was the very first cd I ever bought with my own money. Long box packaging and everything.
I think the Mizell Bros. had a hand in that too. As well as CTI.
BREEZIN!!!
i have the winley comp..its decent..sound quality is kinda shitty though.
...and don't forget those R&B singles he did for the Vik label in the fifties as a middle-school (I think?) kid!
