George Benson to perform in Yerevan

YEREVAN, October 29, /ARKA/. Jazz legend George Benson will play and sing for Armenian music lovers in a November 12 concert, which is timed with the opening of the head office of Ameriabank

The concert will take place in the framework of 10-th “Perspectives of the 21st century” international music festival held under the patronage of the Culture Ministry and Armenian President.

George Benson is an Grammy Award winning American musician, whose recording career began at the age of twenty-one as a jazz guitarist. He is also known as a pop, R&B and scat singer.

Born on March 22, 1943 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Benson showed prodigious talent from an early age, winning a singing contest when he was only four years old and enjoying a short career as a child radio performer under the name of "Little Georgie Benson." He started playing the guitar when he was eight. In 1961 Benson jumped to the national stage when he joined the group backing jazz organist Jack McDuff. -0-
