| | George Benson Shape Of Things To Come CD George Benson Discography of CDs
In which George Benson stretches out over the pop grooves of 1968, pursued stage left by flutes, strings, harmonica, and studio brass orchestrations. Not to mention the sound of Benson himself holding forth on, according to the original liner notes, "alto guitar with Varitone attachment--a wild, doubled sound."
If you want to hear the heir to Wes Montgomery swing hard over a standard, forget it--and you'll have to wait until the second-to-last cut to hear him get serious on a blues. Finally though, on "Shape of Things That Are and Were," he does his thing with style and abandon. When the horns surface, they provide a kick reminiscent of Oliver Nelson's charts for Wes Montgomery and Jimmy Smith. It's worth the wait. Benson works up a serious head of steam on "Don't Let Me Lose This Dream," employs lush chord-melody work on "Face it Boy, It's Over," and gets plenty of room to stretch over a vamp during "Last Train to Clarksville."
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Recorded at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. Includes liner notes by Ira Gitler.

This mysterious album was supposed to be A&M/CTI's last release but it lay fallow until 1984 when it came out on A&M's Audio Master series along with a bunch of A&M/CTI reissues. Why was it shelved? A subjective guess is that it just isn't that good; it's as patchy and disjointed as The Other Side of Abbey Road is brilliantly unified. Even the title seems like an afterthought 15 years after the fact. No personnel or arrangers are listed, but some of the tracks sound like ...

Trying to shake things up, producer Creed Taylor brought in arranger Marty Sheller from Mongo Santamaria's Afro-Cuban band, reduced the sizes of the servings (no track is longer than 3:45), cranked up the decibels to a raucous level, and presented Benson in what he hoped would be a radio-friendly setting. ...

In the early and mid-1970's, while Weather Report, Miles Davis, and select others were searing the stratosphere with their brand of fusion, others took a different approach entirely. Saxophonist Grover Washington Jr.'s brand of fusion was more romantic--groove-oriented, funkier, and melodious--and, in its own manner, just as creative as the aforementioned. In 1973, ...
