About this album
Weekend in L.A. finds George Benson at a peak of crossover appeal, turning a live set into a showcase for his fluency as guitarist, singer and bandleader. Recorded in 1978 and issued the same year, the album brings together contemporary jazz, soul-jazz and pop material with the smooth precision that made Benson one of the era’s biggest names. His version of On Broadway became a major hit and helped cement the record’s commercial success, while performances such as The Greatest Love of All and Down Here on the Ground underline how easily he moved between virtuosic improvisation and polished mainstream songcraft. It remains one of his most popular live albums.
