Breezin' (Acoustic Sounds 40 Series)
George Benson's 1976 classic album Breezin' redefined what jazz guitar could sound like. Effortless, melodic, and irresistibly smooth, Breezin' became the soundtrack to an era and the album that launched Benson into crossover superstardom.
With timeless hits such as "This Masquerade" and the sunlit title track, Breezin', Benson's 15th album, bridges the worlds of jazz, pop, and R&B with rare grace. Â It not only was a Billboard Jazz Albums chart-topper but also went to No. 1 on the pop and R&B charts. It was certified triple platinum-selling, making it one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time.
The record took home Grammy Awards for Best Pop Instrumental Performance and Record of the Year for "This Masquerade," while earning multiple nominations, including for Album and Song of the Year — an unprecedented feat for a jazz guitarist.
Now, this classic shines brighter than ever. Mastered at 45 RPM by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed on flat, ultra-quiet vinyl by Quality Record Pressings, this edition reveals new layers of warmth, depth, and presence in Benson's silky tone and fellow rhythm and bass guitarist Phil Upchurch's signature groove.
