Description of Body Talk
George Benson s Body Talk climbed the Billboard jazz chart to #10 in 1973, an early indication of Benson s successful move into soulful pop. With an eye and ear on what was happening on the soul charts James Brown in particular Benson made a decided swerve toward R&B on this release ... It should come as no surprise by now that this formidable guitarist has no problem handling any kind of groove ... Earl Klugh has a few tasty moments on his own, and there are some reconnaissance flights back to the jazz side of George, which he handles with his usual confident aplomb. (All Music Guide). This release includes an alternate take of the title track.To people born in the '70s, George Benson is a polished pop star. But this 1973 Creed Taylor-produced recording shows his straight-ahead jazz roots and his guitar debt to the great guitarist Charlie Christian. With bassist Ron Carter, drummer Jack DeJohnette, keyboardist Harold Mabern, and saxophonist Frank Foster, Benson digs into some lean and mean swinging. He lays down some in-the-pocket-lines on Latin-flavored tunes like "Dance" and "Plum." The title track and its alternate take move with a disco beat, and the midtempo "Top of the World" displays more of Benson's fancy fretwork. For George Benson's younger fans, this rerelease is an amazing discovery. For older jazz heads, it's a beautiful blast from his soulful past. --Eugene Holley Jr.
