George Benson’s Breezin’ album is generally held to be one of the nicest Jazz/Funk LPs around, full of melodic hooks and some truly memorable guitar riffs crossing through into Funk Jazz Soul and some Latin sounding influences. Lovely lush string buildups with chilled production and percussion. Most would agree that this is Georges best set, it’s also his biggest hit for this reason. His singing is remarkably full and rich, showing he is more than just a gifted guitar player.  It is a well-produced album that has earned its status as the “classic” jazz fusion album of its era.  Some might be less than positive about the string arrangements on some songs, but ultimately, they make up part of this highly polished album.  It is a great album to just have a drink to and relax with your loved one.  Benson practically invented this style and this album is a must for any respectable album collection.   This is clearly one of his best albums made that much better by the fact that it was re-released by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs using their famed Half-Speed Master process, which allows the maximum reproduction of the original master tape music.  MFSL carefully picked the best recorded music each year, choosing only popular music that was recorded with excellence giving you the most powerful music experience on your stereo music system.  What makes this sale offering particularly unique is that this album is brand new, sealed, never opened, so it is as fresh and unaltered as the day it was sealed at the factory.  It is NEW OLD STOCK (NOS) stored in an air-conditioned environment, remaining in prestigious condition all these years.  You won’t find this music in a better presentation, in best possible shape, so don’t let this opportunity pass you by.
