About "Intro (Live: Chicago 1976)" by George Benson
George Benson's 'Intro' from the 1976 Downbeat Jazz Awards is a threshold. The crowd's murmur is a tide, the first chord a lighthouse beam. Tension between the informal warmth of a live room and the formal weight of an award. Vivid as a microphone stand catching a single spotlight before the storm of applause.
