This straight-ahead quartet gig was broadcast by National Public Radio just a year before the release of Breezin' (1976) changed everything for George Benson. Ably supported by keyboardist Ronnie Foster, bassist Wayne Dockery and drummer Marvin Chappell, the guitarist reinvents jazz standard Take Five, George Harrison's Something (In The Way She Moves) and revisits his epic version of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit. This concert provides ample evidence for those who argue that before he was a smooth superstar, Benson was indeed a great jazz guitarist. Performed at the Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, April 5, 1975, for broadcast by National Public Radio. Full colour 8-page booklet with background liners and many rare archival photographs. Professionally re-mastered

All New Items on flyvintageandvinyl.com are Priced Below MSRP
and do not reflect our in-store prices and are not necessarily in stock at our physical store.
In fact, most items won’t be because we’re a small, family run business and don’t have space to stock nearly 500,000 new titles.

Separate Shopping Carts for New and Used Items
Because new items available on flyvintageandvinyl.com are fulfilled by our distributor and used items available on used.flyvintageandvinyl.com
(via the “Buy Used” button above) are fulfilled by us at our physical store, they require separate shopping carts and checkout procedures.
It’s a minor inconvenience, but we’ll try to make it worth your while with our selection, ultrasonic-cleaned used records and competitive prices.
Shipping within the U.S. is $5 for the first LP plus 50˘ for each additional LP via USPS Media Mail.

A Note About Pre-Orders
Orders containing both pre-orders and “Available to Order” items from flyvintageandvinyl.com will be shipped in one package when the pre-order title(s) is/are released.

International Orders, Box Sets and Larger Items
may incur an additional shipping fee and we’ll notify you by email before we process your order. Customs forms for international orders are marked as "Merchandise"
and we are not responsible for any additional customs fees when packages arrive at their destination country. Select items aren't allowed to be shipped outside the U.S.
and we’ll issue a refund for these if export restrictions apply. We reserve the right to limit quantities on select items.
