George Benson's Beyond the Blue Horizon (1971) his label debut with CTI is 'one of Benson s best records, with 'So What?' and 'The Gentle Rain' . . . lyrical but quite hard-bitten, and with an excellent rhythm section behind him, Benson finds room to stretch out' (The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings). AllMusic. com calls it ' superb jazz session . . . a must-hear for all aficionados of Benson s guitar.'
