Bad Benson

1970s soul-jazz. Polished, cinematic guitar work that balances technical precision with a moody, urban atmosphere.

The record that proves Benson was a guitar god long before he was a pop star.

A sophisticated, urban cool that balances technical brilliance with late-night cinematic atmosphere.
