George Benson: Give Me The Night

Give Me The Night

George Benson

Quincy Jones handled production duties here, guiding George Benson toward a polished R&B style. This approach mixed the background of the guitarist in jazz with a pop focus, resulting in a project that leans heavily on radio appeal.

This record captures the move away from the disco trends of the previous decade toward the synthetic arrangements of the eighties. Expert session musicians contribute to the project, helping to form a refined soul-jazz style that prioritizes a high-gloss finish.
