by
George Benson
The R&B elements get stronger, the sound and mix are more attuned to the dancefloor, yet this brings out the best in George Benson's funky side. Thanks in part to the more rigid beat, Benson pares down his style to its rhythmic essentials, refusing to spray notes all over the place at random, and as a result, the record cooks and dances. His ...

A good reminder that Quincy Jones, at his best, was a jazz big-band leader, this CD compiles some well-known standards, commercial but not overtly pop tunes, and some modern arrangements that allow the leader/conductor a chance to stretch. Thankfully this is not an alleged greatest-hits package, but conversely contains no compositions he wrote. ...
