George Benson Pays Tribute to Nat King Cole
Jan 28th, 2008 by admin
I had received an email about a wonderful concert featuring George Benson in an acoustic tribute to the legendary Nat King Cole taking place on the 15th of February 2008. I would love to be able to attend this show, but alas, I live quite far away and my transporter unit is on the fritz again. Seriously though, this sounds like a one-time magical evening and if anyone plans on attending I’d love to hear some feedback. Below is the official copy I was sent in the email.

I have discovered George Benson a few years ago as one of the great guitar players and singers in this world. I am not into jazz very much, but his music passed the limits of musical genders.
