A compilation of smooth instrumental jazz from Benson's years with Warner Brothers (so there's nothing here from A&M or CBS). Tracks here were recorded in the years 1976-1996. Good, but could have been better if they could have delved back into the older catalogs. I guess you work with what you have available.

The classic Breezin' is first rate as are Benson's version of Donnie Hathaway's Valdez In The Country, Tenderly, and Dinorah, Dinorah.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: I bought this solely based on Benson's proven musicianship and Valdez In The Country, a favorite piece ever since I was introduced to it in high school jazz band.
