BENSON, from page 22
sion of Stevie Wonder’s My Cherie Amour and more extensively on the uptempo, hard-driving Fingelero, written by Breezin’ collaborator Ronnie Foster.
Benson recorded this CD with minimal rehearsal and little over- dubbing giving it a more sponta- neous feel. Its main shortcoming is its relatively short running time (42-
minutes-plus) that merely whets the appetite to hear more from the guitar man.
CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: On “My One and Only Love,” Benson opens with an exquisite 16- bar guitar solo, then silkily sings the lyrics backed by an acoustic combo, revealing his talent as a jazz bal- ladeer in a performance taking after the 1963 Johnny Hartman-John Coltrane collaboration. AP
