About this album
Breezin' is the album that brought George Benson into the pop mainstream without softening his jazz credentials. Released in 1976, it paired his elegant guitar work and easy vocal phrasing with polished jazz-funk arrangements, helping define the smooth jazz sound as a commercial force. Produced by Tommy LiPuma, the record includes Benson’s widely known version of This Masquerade, which became a major crossover hit and helped drive the album’s success. Its mix of melodic sophistication, instrumental fluidity and radio-friendly clarity made it one of the most influential jazz crossover albums of the 1970s.
