Benson Burner
CD (Item 571180) Columbia/Wounded Bird, Late 60s/1976 — Condition: New Copy
A great 2CD set (originally a double LP set) that features some of the best early groovers from George Benson – cut for Columbia back in the late 60s – when George was fresh out of Jack McDuff's classic combo and grooving on his own with the help of organist Lonnie Smith! These tracks have gotten pretty hard to find over the years, which makes the set even more essential than it was a couple decade ago! Most numbers have a burningly raw organ/guitar groove – much different and a lot more soulful than most of the other jazz on Columbia at the time. Benson's core quartet also features Ronnie Cuber and Jimmy Lovelace – and a great lineup of additional players on the tracks includes Al Michelle, Melvin Sparks, Howard Johnson, Pucho, King Curtis and Blue Mitchell. Tracks include "Benson's Rider", "Clabber Biscuits", "Chicken Giblets", "Mama Wailer", "Hammond's Bossa Nova", "Peg-Leg Jack", "Jaguar", "Keep Talkin", and "Slow Scene". 27 tracks on 2CDs! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
