Beyond The Blue Horizon (Jpn)

Considered by many to be the legendary musician's most brilliant guitar recording, BEYOND THE BLUE HORIZON is a breathtakingly burning finger-busting jazz guitar classic. This steady-grooving organ date featuring Ron Carter and Jack DeJohnette was the first of many terrific recordings fro CTI Records, with highlights including Benson's wonderfully lyrical playing on "Ode to a Kudu", the bossa with a bite "Gentle Rain", and the worldly vibe of "Somewhere in the East"/ Particularly breathtaking is Benson's solo on the loosely funky "So What".
