"Versatility has always been what I'm about and on this album I had the chance to really stretch out and try a lot of different approaches."

So says George Benson on the subject of his extraordinary new Warner Bros. Records release, Love Remembers. George's guitar, vocal and songwriting style has, over the course of a pioneering three-decade career, effortlessly bridged the gap between pop, jazz and soul. Now he brings them all together for the dozen dazzling tracks of Love Remembers.

Recorded in New York, the album sessions likewise called together a diverse list of supporting talent. Aside from George himself, producers included the renowned Bob James, Stewart Levine, David Gamson, mixmaster Gary Henry and others. Supporting musicians read like a Who's Who of modern music: bassists Abe Laboriel and Nathan East, saxophonist Kirk Whalum, flautist Hubert Laws, keyboardist Richard Tee, guitarist Wah Wah Watson, drummers Harvey Mason and John Roberston, trumpet player Chuck Findley...the list, as they say, goes on.

"The idea for this album came to me after I finished working with the Count Basie Orchestra," explains the multi Grammy-winning musician and composer. "Getting in touch with my jazz roots helped me to see more clearly just how my music had branched out over the years. I wanted to have the opportunity to bring all those different facets into one album."

The Benson-Basie project was, of course, Big Boss Band, the critically acclaimed collaboration between George and the Count Basie Orchestra, released in late 1990 and followed by a headlining tour of Japan in the summer of 1991.
