Wait what??? Am I seriously in 10 time Grammy Award winning jazz guitarist & vocalist George Benson’s house right now? The 25 time Grammy nominated George Benson that just rejoined Warner Music Group & is about to release a long lost album 6/14/24??? Ummmm…hell yeah I am! I was personally invited to George Benson’s house, who is now the proud owner of my painting called “Neon Dreams.” I also had George sign the very first limited edition giclée/ canvas print I had made on this piece.
I wanted to thank William Doc Jones the Head of The Scottsdale International Jazz Organization & Organizer of The Molina School For Jazz Charity Organization as well as Polly & Scott Larsen, owners of Larsen Gallery & PBS for such an incredible opportunity to not only pay it forward but to also take part in such a prestigious event!
