As for new album of George Benson, it is scheduled to be announced next month.
Musician known well. And, the album produced mixing a budding and spirited musician will expect the possibility to the music of George Benson further. It seems also to have enhanced the tune of the cover. The fan might be interesting.

Interesting, thanks, Kazuhiro. I see Mason in the line-up, among others. I wonder how 'vocal-jazz' it will be?

I've heard it. Its like a throwback to the 60s when pop jazz albums would have a wide variety of music, instead of that same slick smooth formula on every song.
I liked some of the songs, there is a mix of kind of arty acoustic numbers, and then some more kind of "fun" numbers in a wide variety of settings and styles. his guitar playing is great throughout, but its mostly a pop album. His version of "My Cherie Amour" is no match for Stevie's original.

I had not checked this sample yet. "Songs And Stories" that had been announced in 2009 was exactly Pop Jazz as the content. If they were those extensions, I was convinced of Pop Jazz they in consideration of the opinion of John.
