The George Benson Sessions: The Making of Songs And Stories

NEA Jazz Master and 10X Grammy-winning legendary musician George Benson will release his new album on August 25th entitled Songs and Stories. The album is a collection of tunes penned by some of the most prolific and enduring songwriters of the last half-century. Some were written specifically for this new recording, such as Bill Withers (who came out of retirement to write A Telephone Call Away for George), Rod Tempertons Family Reunion and Lamont Doziers Living in High Definition; while others, including James Taylors Dont Let Me Be Lonely Tonight, Donny Hathaways Someday Well All Be Free and Tony Joe Whites Rainy Night in Georgia were hand-picked by Benson for their ability to convey simple but universal truths about the human experience.

Been listening to George my whole life.

A genuine human being who I've had the pleasure to have worked for in his home and has always treated me with repect that you wouldn't expect from a superstar.

Best of luck with your new album.

I can't wait to the 25th!

The Blind Guy!

I love it!!!! I really love this new song Family Reunion. Was just browsing through youtube just thinking I would land on the song or the vid, but didn't realize the album came out two days ago. Duh!!! Will be purchasing it tomorrow. Have been listening to George Benson all my life. My mom played jazz in the house all of the time when I was little so I love jazz music, 37 years old, and love it.
