The guitarist(s) of the day are Sonny Sharrock and George Benson

When Sonny first came to New York, he was super-intimidated because the very first live music he heard was a street jazz band with a teenager named George Benson playing guitar. He must have thought "does everyone in NY play like this--Geez!" It's a good thing they both stayed.





Was there ever a more relaxed or soulful guitarist than George Benson? It's how I play in my dreams; in the stream and dissolved in it. Thank you George.
