George Benson has plenty to smile about.Multiple Grammy Award-winner George Benson will be playing live in Macau for the first time on May 25.
The jazz guitarist and vocalist first proved himself when he won a singing contest at the age of four. Benson is now pushing 70 and more intense than ever on stage.
Of a recent performance at the Chicago Theatre, critic Howard Reich said Benson "found new insights in very old songs, delivering them with a freshness one doesn?t often encounter from major performers who have been revisiting their classics incessantly through the decades."
Dubbed the "Guitar Man," Benson was a hard-core jazz guitarist before crossing over with R&B, pop, funk and other genres to showcase those velvet vocal chords that did him so well when he was just a kid.
