George Benson Guest Hubert Laws - In Concert Carnegie Hall
Review by Lara Taylor
The album "In Concert Carnegie Hall" by George Benson and guest Hubert Laws is a captivating and soulful collection of live performances. The album features a range of musical styles, from smooth jazz to soulful R&B, and showcases the incredible musicianship of both Benson and Laws.
The arrangements are intricate and sophisticated, with Benson's signature guitar work weaving seamlessly with Laws' virtuosic flute playing. The live setting adds an extra layer of energy and spontaneity to the performances, making for a truly immersive listening experience.
Highlights of the album include the bluesy "Weekend In LA," the soulful "This Masquerade," and the upbeat "On Broadway." The audience's enthusiastic response to the performances is also captured on the album, adding to the sense of excitement and energy.

Comments
I agree with ogrebattle.. I didn't even know this album existed.. no wonder he collaborated with al jarreau.. he also did take 5.. bought the LP when I heard this.. dave Brubeck should be proud of this
Benson y wes mis idolos!!!!
LORDY LORDY!
the drums and bass are credited to Dockery and Chappell on this album but they were actually overdubbed in the studio by Steve Gadd (drums) and Will Lee (bass). The recording was live but the drums and bass were recorded in the studio and added later afterwards.
Awwww man can you DIG IT.... I absolutely love this album... Anybody who is a fan of George Benson must have this album.... This is my favorite tune off this LP...
This is when George the GOAT was playing at the top of his form Jazz. GOAT !
George Benson was my inspiration in my late 70s and early 80s
Just a special musician. Such a great role model for his innumerable imitators. Never heard a bad thought come from his mouth.
This is music ??
Those licks, clean, fast.... Wow.
Lost in a sea of jazz
