George Benson - White Rabbit (White Vinyl) (LP)

On White Rabbit (1973) CTI boss and producer Creed Taylor placed George Benson in lavish Spanish arrangements by Don Sebesky. The title track "White Rabbit" remains strong even without the lyrics, while "California Dreaming" sounds relaxed and warm with its Andalusian harmonies. On the closer, "El Mar," Benson comes through with some truly inspiring playing. This was Benson's first release on CTI (Beyond The Blue Horizon was released on its subsidiary Kudu Records) and the debut of guitarist Earl Klugh. Herbie Hancock adds his magic touch to the Rhodes, as does Ron Carter on bass.

White Rabbit is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on white coloured vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.
