Jazztodon artist of the week: George Benson!
From @aaj : Appreciated as both musician and performer by millions, George Benson has always had the duel personae of expert improviser and vibrant entertainer. He has always placed his keenly discerning art in the service of a rousing good time. Rounding out his singular approach with sly, seductive rhythm and blues, he's earned himself an impeccable reputation as one of music's most enterprising and engaging stars.
"As a kid I sang, danced and played the ukelele in a nightclub. As my career has progressed, I've had the pleasure of playing with the baddest jazz cats on the planet. But that doesn't change my desire to entertain folks. That's really who I am."
What are some of your favorite #georgebenson records and memories?

@allenmichie @aaj It's hard for me to hear On Broadway without recalling this scene from All That Jazz. They work so well together.
