Jazz / Fusion / Contemporary Jazz / Crossover Jazz / Guitar
From a vintage year in music. Things are cooking on this recording with Benson, George Duvivier, Mickey Tucker and Al Harewood. I'm not an expert on Benson, but these guys are fairly shedding it up on this live material. Not just the casual swing I'm used to with Benson's jazz guitar, this is a good selection of tunes from a time when there WAS no time limit on songs. People went with and where the inspiration took. Only 2 of the 7 songs are under 10 minutes and Love for Sale is 14 minutes long. I think you will find this a fairly inspired recording. Nice drum solo on Oleo with an excited crowd laughing and cheering him on. Exciting piano work too. Sound quality seems to vary a little between numbers.
There's an interesting career time line in the liner notes. I didn't know for example that Benson had played with Miles Davis "in one of the first records in which the celebrated trumpet player shows his rock tendencies (Miles In The Sky, 1968)." This 1972 SF performance is of the times - while not as dour or far out as say "Bitch's Brew", there IS a kind of openess and free intensity that borders on rock or jazz fusion.
