George Benson "Giblet Gravy" (1968)

Very groovy work from guitarist George Benson -- and a set that really helped him make the transition from small group soul jazz to some of his more ambitious work to come!..
...The album's still quite soulful and a bit funky at times -- but it also features larger arrangements from the great Tom McIntosh -- cast in a blend of modern rhythms, shades, and colors that really help open up Benson's sound. The approach is similar to that McIntosh was using with Bobby Timmons and Jack McDuff at the same time -- tight backings, but still with plenty of room for the lead soloist -- and Benson's got a great affinity for this sort of album. (Dusty Groove)
