George Benson Breezin With The Stars

Longtime Englewood resident George Benson will host “Breezin’ With The Stars” January 3-6 at the Wigwam Resort in Phoenix Arizona with classes, workshops, concerts, discussions and jam sessions with Steve Lukather, Patti Austin, Tommy Emmanuel, Stanley Jordan, Al Di Meola, Greg Phillinganes, Lee Ritenour, John Scofield, Esperanza Spalding, Andy Timmons, Rick Beato, Norman Brown, Isiah Sharkey, Joscho Stephan, Quinn Sullivan, Randy Waldman, Chris Walker and Cory Wong. Wigwam Resort is 440 acres of gardens, dining, golf courses and swimming pools. “Breezin’” was Benson’s biggest hit. It flew to #1 in 1976 and was the title track of his 15th album. The song itself—written by Bobby Womack in 1970—was a cover of a 1971 release by Hungarian jazz guitarist Gabor Szabo. For further information and ticketing, visit https://breezinwiththestars.com/
