  • Does anyone know what documentary this is from? I followed the As Seen On (found some great stuff), but no main source for this video. Would like to see the full context.

  • Benson is just a humble, humble guy, whose talents and skill easily transcend what limited ego he may happen to have yet never shows. A true class act.

  • That's a famous story. It's cool to finally see this clip. Pat told a story when I saw him live at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall that was inspiring. He checked out an entire Wes Montgomery gig in Harlem. When it was over and the club was closing, there were five guys hanging around: Wes, Pat, George Benson, Grant Green, and Les Paul. If a bomb went off that night, jazz guitar in the 60's would have been pretty much over!

  • How other guitarists react to Pat Martino: "I'm gettin' out of here"! This is still my favorite story on YT.

  • That was great!

  • @CrusteanParliament Good question, sir. Perhaps it's Martino Unstrung.

  • Benson is top of the line....he is better at being humble though....

  • Well said by a truly talented guitarist in his own right!.....

  • i know one of Martino's students. he says hes not only a great guitar player but incredibly heavyduty. He's one of the deepest people on the planet.

  • @namtil I agree with you 1000% George Benson has the humbleness of the greatests. How amazing is that in these times of more looks and attitude than real talent.

  • @ichisatori Except for the other "Pat".....
