Se trata de uno de los artistas de jazz más populares de las últimas décadas, habiendo recibido además encendidos elogios por parte de la crítica. Niño virtuoso de la guitarra, grabó su primer single "It should have been me" a la edad de los 10 años. Su música ha abarcado tanto el swing y el bop como el hard bop, el quiet storm y la fusión del jazz con el pop y el soul; en Benson se pueden reconocer las influencias de Charlie Christian y Wes Montgomery. Es un guitarrista con un gran dominio de la velocidad de ejecución y del swing. Benson comenzó su carrera artística como cantante, actuando en nightclubs a los ocho años y grabando cuatro caras para el sello X de RCA en 1954; formó también una banda de rock a los 17 en la que ya tocaba la guitarra. Su audición de las grabaciones de Christian, Montgomery y Charlie Parker le llevaron a interesarse en el jazz y, hacia 1962, empezó a tocar en la banda de Brother Jack McDuff. Tras formar su grupo en 1965, Benson grabó dos discos de soul jazz y hard bop para Columbia y colaboró en otros discos con artistas como Miles Davis, en Miles in the Sky. Firmó con Verve en 1967 y, tras la muerte de Montgomery, el productor Creed Taylor le hizo grabar con grandes conjuntos en A&M (1968-1969) y CTI (1971-1976). Estos discos le convirtieron en una estella dentro del mundo del jazz, popularmente empezó a adquirir resonancia tras prodigarse más en lo vocal tras firmar con Warner Bros. en 1976. Su primer disco para esta compañía, Breezin', se convirtió en un éxito gracias a su solo vocal en la canción "This Masquerade" lo que le llevó a frecuentar la fusión con el pop, cuya culminación fue el disco producido por Quincy Jones, Give Me the Night (1980). Durante los ochenta frecuentó material comercial dejando su guitarra únicamente como acompañamiento. A finales de los ochenta, volvió a terrenos jazzísticos grabando un disco de estándares, Tenderly, y otro con la banda de Basie, en los que su guitarra volvió a tener protagonismo. Su oscilación entre el jazz y el pop ha sido frecuente desde entonces. fuente: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Benson ■ ENLACES DE INTERÉS • http://georgebenson.com/ BIBLIOTECA PÚBLICA DE ALICANTE ■ DISCOGRAFÍA 1964: George Benson/Jack McDuff • 1964: The New Boss Guitar • 1965: Benson Burner • 1965: It's Uptown • 1966: The George Benson Cookbook • 1966: Willow Weep for Me • 1967: Blue Benson • 1968: Giblet Gravy • 1968: Goodies • 1969: Shape of Things to Come • 1969: Tell It Like It Is • 1969: The Other Side of Abbey Road • 1970: I Got a Woman & Some Blues • 1971: Beyond the Blue Horizon • 1972: White Rabbit • 1973: Jazz on a Sunday Afternoon, Vol. 1 • 1973: Jazz on a Sunday Afternoon, Vol. 2 • 1973: Witchcraft • 1974: Body Talk • 1975: Bad Benson • 1976: Good King Bad • 1976: Benson & Farrell • 1976: Breezin' • 1977: In Concert-Carnegie Hall • 1977: In Flight • 1978: Space Album • 1978: Weekend in L.

  • The Ghikas House on Hydra: from Artists’ Haven to Enchanted Ruins
    The Ghikas House on Hydra: From Artists’ Haven to Enchanted Ruins HELLE VALBORG GOLDMAN Norwegian Polar Institute We sat on the terrace under the starry sky and talked about poetry, we drank wine, we swam, we rode donkeys, we played chess—it was like life in a novel. (Ghikas, quoted in Arapoglou 56) Introduction The Greek island of Hydra has become known for the colony of expatriate painters and writers that became established there in the 1950s and 60s (Genoni and Dalziell 2018; Goldman 2018). Two ‘literary houses,’ the homes of several of the island’s most well-known foreign residents during that era—the Australian couple, writers George Johnston and Charmian Clift, and Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen—have become places of pilgrimage for aficionados of Australian literature and popular music. Visitors wend through the maze of car- less, stone-paved lanes, asking for directions along the way, in order to stand outside the objects of their quests. Standing in the small public courtyard in front of the Johnstons’ house, or the tight laneway fronting the Cohen house, there is not much to see—the houses are quiet, the doors closed, the stone and white-washed walls surrounding the properties, which are typical of Hydra, are high. This doesn’t keep people from coming. They can picture in their minds’ eyes what is on the other side of the walls, having seen photographs of the writers at work and leisure inside the houses, and having read the books and listened to the songs that were written while the Johnstons and Cohen were in residence.

  • George Benson
    GEORGE BENSON BIOGRAPHY From hard bop guitarist to R&B/pop superstar, George Benson has worn a wide variety of hats over the years. R&B lovers know him as the guitar-playing vocalist who is responsible for such hits as "Give Me The Night" and "Turn Your Love Around", while the jazz world continues to treasue his classic instrumental albums of the 1960s and early 1970s. And it goes without saying that Benson's million-selling Breezin' album of 1976 practically defined the NAC, quiet storm, and contemporary jazz radio formats. Because the guitarist/singer is so diverse and unpredictable, one never knows what he will do from one album to the next - and on his latest GRP release, Absolute Benson, the eight- time GRAMMY®-winner surprises us once again by emphasizing instrumental music. While Benson's last album, 1998's Standing Together, was full of R&B/pop singing, only three of Absolute Benson's nine songs find him providing vocals: his rendition of Ray Charles's "Come Back Baby", an infectious remake of the late Donny Hathaway's soul classic "The Ghetto", and Benson's Latin-flavored "El Barrio" (a companion piece to "The Ghetto"). Everything else on the album is instrumental, and this time, Benson's distrinctive guitar playing takes center stage. Though Benson is still quite capable of playing straight-ahead hard bop, Absolute Benson isn't a bop album. Blending jazz with R&B and pop, Absolute Benson aims for accessibility and recalls Benson's albums of the early-to-mid 1970s. From the haunting "Deeper Than You Think", the intriguing "Medicine Man", and the slightly Wes Montgomery-ish "One On One" to the funky "Hipping The Hop" and a thoughtful version of Stevie Wonder's "Lately", Absolute Benson illustrates Benson's virtuosity without sacrificing his commitment to the groove, the beat and the melody.
