George Benson - Breezin'

Grammy-winning album blue vinyl LP reissue

Classic Grammy-winning album that contains two sought-after classics "This Masquerade" and "Breezin'." At the 19th Grammy Awards (1976) "Breezin'" won Best Pop Instrumental Performance for Benson and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for Al Schmitt, while "This Masquerade" won Record of the Year for producer Tommy LiPuma and Benson. Benson uses a rest-stroke picking technique similar to that of gypsy jazz players such as Django Reinhardt. In recent years, Benson received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
