George Benson Solo "My Latin Brother"

George Benson Solo Transcription from Jorge Dalto’s 1983 release “Rendez-vous.“ The solo features some amazing Afro Cuban Latin Jazz Guitar playing by none other than GEORGE(!!). The Master phrases perfectly to the style while still keeping some serious JAZZ sensibilities. Why didn’t he didnt continue to record in a completely Afro Cuban Puerto Rican NYC format is unbelievable..... Notice how George plays the same motivic content as his solo on “Old Devil Moon“ recorded in 1977. Interesting, right? #jazzguitar #latinguitar #latinxcreatives #latino #montuno #guitar #jazzguitartoday #puertorico 00:00 Pickups and A1 00:12 B1 interesting II V licks and A2 00:23 A3 00:33 B2 II V starts with the same lick but variates rhythm 00:44 The Benson 4ths going into C1 with rhythmic anticipations across the barline!! 00:57 Trademark Benson double stops 01:08 C2 resembles the last chorus of “Old Devil Moon“ from 1977!!!
