ghost of miles Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) This week's Night Lights takes a look at George Benson's straightahead jazz years, featuring the guitarist as a leader and as a sideman with Brother Jack McDuff and Jimmy Smith. It's archived for online listening: Before Broadway: George Benson in the 1960s ...and you can also hear it over the airwaves: Weekly broadcast times around the U.S. Next week: "John Zorn: Hardboiled Bop."

WorldB3 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Looks like a great show. I will hit the archives of that. Love early Benson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 for George, will you talk about his time in the Navy band (he was an ensign)? Allen, no, didn't turn that info up while I was preparing the show, though I would've been hard-pressed to get it into the program. I did mention his brief stint as a child singer with an RCA label.
