George Benson - White Rabbit

Facts Limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on white coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. On White Rabbit CTI boss and producer Creed Taylor placed George Benson in lavish Spanish arrangements by Don Sebesky. The title track "White Rabbit" remains strong even without the lyrics, while "California Dreaming" sounds relaxed and warm with it's Andalusian harmonies. On the closer, "El Mar," Benson comes through with some truly inspiring playing. This was Benson's first release on CTI (Beyond The Blue Horizon was released on it's subsidiary Kudu Records) and the debut of guitarist Earl Klugh. Herbie Hancock adds his magic touch to the Rhodes, as does Ron Carter on bass.
