Watch as Marcus interviews George and then they share the stage for a few songs. Then join George, Marcus and an incredible line up of musicians on The Smooth Jazz Cruise ’22: Back to Sea Sailing https://backtosea.thesmoothjazzcruise
It’s such a blessing to see George Benson still with us and kickin’ it as good as ever. Always a favorite of mine for many years. I will never forget the first time I heard George Benson on the radio. Time slowed down and my surroundings disappeared… Even my hard rock guitar playing friends agree he’s among the greatest guitar players ever. A living legend. No one can deny his achievements on jazz and later pop music.
