George Benson solo on "Stella by Starlight"

 

This solo shows how tunes can sound great in alternate keys: Benson plays this song in G major (as opposed to the usual Bb). His timing is impeccable and his bebop lines show how hard and consistent he picks almost every note.

This solo offers some nice intervallic playing, large intervals nicely executed, with his characteristic "bouncing" feel.

It's on George Benson "Tenderly" (Warner Bros., 1989).
