Moments Worth Listening For
The seamless transition of the melody from Al Jarreau's nimble scatting to George Benson's signature hollow-body guitar tone on the opening of Breezin'
The way the two legends trade verses on Summer Breeze, turning a 70s staple into a masterclass of vocal phrasing and rhythmic pocket
The unexpected funk-inflected bass groove that anchors 'Long Come Tutu, providing a sharp contrast to the album's softer textures
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
