Giblet Gravy

George Benson

A pivotal 1968 fusion of hard bop precision and soul-jazz groove. Warm hollow-body guitar lines dance over punchy brass and Herbie Hancock’s elegant piano.

A sophisticated blend of urban cool and warm, soulful optimism.

The sharp, rhythmic interplay between the brass section and the congas on the title track
Herbie Hancock's fluid, cascading piano solo that bridges the gap between hard bop and soul
The unexpected arrival of the backing vocalists adding a gospel-tinged warmth to the arrangements
