Very talented Smooth Jazz musicians George Benson and Al Jarreau have released a CD together titled Givin It Up and I have to give it up to these two.
It's really a good one.
The CD is filled with a mix of 13 tracks from these seasoned and clearly still outstanding artists.
One of the really nice things about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Smooth Jazz isn't your favorite style you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the artists. These two have been doing it so long and are so polished they just seem to embody the term musician.
Listen to and I think you'll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and even after all these years George and Al are both still in top form.
While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tracks are of course Breezin [track 1], God Bless The Child [track 4], and Every Time You Go Away [track 10].
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 5, Summer Breeze. Very nicely done!
