About this album
Tell It Like It Is finds George Benson bridging jazz fluency and soul feel with impressive ease. Issued in 1969, the album captures him in his late-1960s groove-oriented mode, when his supple guitar lines and clean attack were helping expand his reputation beyond straight-ahead jazz. Blending instrumental flair with rhythm-and-blues energy, it reflects the broader crossover sound that would later make Benson one of the most accessible figures in jazz. With its mix of covers and soul-inflected material, the record shows an artist already shaping the polished, melodic style that would define his later success.
