GEORGE BENSON IS REALLY TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES, BUT IT NEVER HURTS TO GO BACK-TO-BASICS!
He (George Benson) has ALWAYS been known for doing something just a little bit different from most of your standard jazz artists (Go ALL the way back to when he first started playing. . And you'll understand what I'm talkin' about). In most cases it has proven to work for Mr. Benson, on this project. . . It's alright. . . A FEW Stand Out Tracks like: "C-Smooth", The Title Track, "Poquito Spanish, Poquito Funk". Listeners of New Wave Jazz will love it! Die-Hard Jazz Fans will NOT be moved, The one's who got into him during the early Warner Brothers Records years will be stuck in the middle. In short George Benson needs to find 'That' zone. . . And stay there for awhile so he can get his longtime fans back again. And guess what?. . . . He can do it!!! .


What A Waste!
Benson is capable of far better things than this mindless fluff. This is just a terrible album. "Corny" is the best way to describe it. This sounds like one of those contractual obligation albums, where an artist just releases anything to fulfill their contract. Don't waste your money on this garbage!.


Why Only two stars???????
If you like his vocals, and his love songs, they are on here, and take up much of the album. How much you like this CD depends on why you like George in the first place. If, like me, you prefer his instrumentals, they too are on here, and even through they are the minority, they are the reasons I enjoy this CD. Standouts are c-smooth, and poquito spanish, poquito funk, which are firing. Personally i wish george would do an instrumental cd, but maybe one day. .


Benson at his best
I wasnn't really sure what he was doing these days. It's been several years since I purchased anything by George Benson. Well, I can tell you, he's doing better than ever. You can't go wrong with one of his cd's, even if you've never heard one single track; you won't be sorry. Track 4, "C-Groove" was the only cut I had heard before I purchased the cd, but track 1,5, and 7 are by far my favorites, then comes track 9, 2, 3, 8,. . . well, the entire cd is great. You won't be disappointed if you're a Benson fan.


"Standing Together" is a Smooth Treat!
You just can't help but get into this one. The "staple" of jazz guitar that we all know as George Benson returns with nine tracks of smooth "feel good" music. From the 1st track, "C-smooth" to the last "Keep Rollin'" George just keeps the sweetness comin'. What can I say? Its George. You won't be disappointed.
