“Breezin’” – George Benson

[media=https://youtu.be/G1QjyskJ9jw]

One of the things I appreciate about music is how it can help lift your mood when you’re in a funk. It might not fix whatever got you there in the first place, but it can provide a temporary respite from what ails you.

George Benson’s cover of “Breezin’”, a smooth jazz tune first recorded by Hungarian guitarist Gábor Szabó, is a great piece for getting away from it all in mind and spirit. It has a laid-back, summertime vibe, and when I listen to it, it takes me to a better place, at least for the moment.

I've got Macho by Gabor Szabo (vinyl LP) and Breezin'. Didn't know that Szabo recorded it. I knew that it was written by Bobby Womack but didn't know who else had recorded it.

We live and learn😉

@room101 Another interesting fact: Bobby Womack not only composed the piece; he played electric rhythm guitar on Szabó's recording of it. He also wrote and performed on several other tracks on Szabó's album, High Contrast.
