The guitar legend and soul sensation comes to Marbella for one night only in June. Fans will be able to see the grammy winning musician up close and personal, under the stars on the tennis club’s center court.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"George<\/a><\/p>\n

Nothing tells you more eloquently that the summer concert season is just around the corner, than when the George Benson billboards start going up all over the Costa del Sol! Performing in Marbella for the third time in as many years, the multi-Grammy award winning jazz guitar legend and R&B, pop and soul vocalist has been wowing audiences for more than 40 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Marbella, it\u2019s such a beautiful place with so many great memories for me and I can\u2019t believe that it\u2019s nearly six years since I last performed there,\u201d the triple-platinum artist said. \u201cTime flies I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former child prodigy, best known for his 1976 hit album Breezin\u2019, is famous for never having a set list.<\/p>\n

\u201cI play it by ear, it all depends on the audience,\u201d the 68-year-old said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou gotta give them what they want. Some want to sit and listen, some want to dance but knowing how Marbella loves to party I\u2019ve got a pretty good idea which one it\u2019ll be,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n

Benson was discovered at an early age by jazz great Wes Montgomery and has an eclectic musical style including soul, jazz and R&B.<\/p>\n
