I thought I’d share this excellent video of jazz guitarist George Benson playing the tune, “Take 5” on the Tom Snyder show sometime in the 80s. This is only the second video I’ve seen of him playing this song. There are some great shots of his right hand technique and some amazing lines. His timing, rhythm and flow are impeccable as always.
Enjoy.
Thanks for posting… My fave GB music is his instrumental work, and this certainly ranks high on the list!
What can you say, Benson is the best in my book. His technique is superb and lines are awesome and inspiring. I finally got a chance to see him in person in Dallas about a year or two ago, what a show. He and Mr. Jarreau(AL) brought the house down. They compliment each others styles so well.
