George Benson live in London

Experience George Benson live on August 21st

George Benson is scheduled to perform at the Jazz Café in London on August 21, 2026. Benson is a highly regarded American guitarist, singer, and composer whose musical style blends jazz with elements of pop, R&B, and blues. He initially gained prominence as a jazz guitarist in the 1960s, performing with prominent artists like Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock. Throughout his career, he transitioned towards a more commercially accessible sound incorporating vocals, achieving significant success with hits like “This Masquerade” and “Breezin’”. His playing is noted for its fluid guitar lines, scat singing, and warm vocal tone.

The Jazz Café itself has a notable history within London’s music scene. Established in 1990 by Ronnie Scott's Enterprises, it was originally intended as a sister venue to the famed Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club. Located in Camden Town, the venue quickly established itself as a key location for both established and emerging jazz artists, alongside soul, funk and world music performers. The venue underwent a significant refurbishment following a fire in 2008 but has maintained its intimate club atmosphere and commitment to live music performance.
