Before you complain about his later disco period, just listen to this version of White Rabbit, from an album which includes players like Billy Cobham and Herbie Hancock.



So, George Benson for JR/F?

He's done a few decent tracks, but the fact that the majority of his work was fuzak will probably outweigh the good stuff.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Despite his popularity, I think he belongs. He was definitely "fusing" elements of several genres--as if 'trane and Masakela and Hancock and Jeff Beck weren't doing the same. 

But, then, if he gets in then its open the floodgates for the Earl Klughs, Bob James, and Freddie Hubbards. 

On second thought, send him over to JazzArchives.
