Venerdì, 08 luglio 2011, negli spa­zi dell’ex mani­fat­tu­ra tabac­c­hi alle ore 21:00, in occa­si­one dell’Avantgarde Jazz Festival a Rovigno, si ter­rà il con­cer­to del cele­bre chi­tar­ris­ta e can­tan­te sta­tu­ni­ten­se George Benson.


George Benson, più vol­te vin­ci­to­re del pre­mio “Grammy”, ha comin­ci­ato la pro­pria car­ri­era all’età di 21 anni come chi­tar­ris­ta jazz. Tuttavia, è noto pre­sso il gran­de pub­bli­co soprat­tut­to come can­tan­te di musi­ca pop e R&B gra­zie a dei gran­di suc­ce­ssi tra cui „Give Me The Night“, „Lady Love Me“ (One More Time), „Turn Your Love Around“, „In Your Eyes“, „Love X Love“, „Being With You“ e „This Masquerade“. George Benson è ricor­da­to dai jazzo­fi­li anc­he come abi­le uti­li­zza­to­re del­lo “scat”, una tec­ni­ca che per­met­te di cre­are voca­li­zzi che imi­ta­no gli asso­li jazz suona­ti con la chitarra.


Vanta col­la­bo­ra­zi­oni con stra­or­di­na­ri musi­cis­ti d’ogni gene­re musi­ca­le, tra i quali van­no men­zi­ona­ti Claus Ogerman, McCoy Tyner, Joe Farrell, Earl Klugh e Al Jarreau . Per la sua pro­du­zi­one artis­ti­ca è sta­to pre­mi­ato con il tito­lo di “Jazz Master”, il massi­mo rico­nos­ci­men­to inter­na­zi­ona­le nel mon­do del jazz, asseg­na­to­gli dal National Endowment of the Arts.
