Produced by Esmond Edwards and featuring arrangements by Tom McIntosh, the sessions draw on a range of jazz and studio musicians, including pianist Herbie Hancock, bassists Ron Carter and Bob Cranshaw, drummer Billy Cobham, percussionist Johnny Pacheco, and baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams, alongside a brass and rhythm section assembled for selected tracks. Across these varied settings, Benson’s fluid articulation, blues-inflected phrasing, and rhythmic dexterity remain the music’s central focus. The repertoire blends contemporary popular material, standards, and original compositions, illustrating the stylistic breadth that would inform his later crossover success while remaining grounded in the late-1960s jazz ensemble format. The Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003estreet date \u003cspan class=\"aec-title-date\"\u003e8\/14\/2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-title-date\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45127583695048,"sku":"199957337458","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/99_514c03d6-3387-46a7-95ef-33ed40605ce0.webp?v=1782766966","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/products\/199957337458","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
