George Benson: Tribute to Nat King Cole
Friday November 19, 8:00pm - Vector Arena, Auckland



Legendary guitarist/vocalist revisits the music of Nat King Cole and adds some of his own amazing hits for good measure!

It takes a legend to successfully pay homage to one – and that’s just what ten-time Grammy Award-winner George Benson demonstrates during his elegant performance of “An Unforgettable Tribute to Nat King Cole.” has thus far, been a resounding success. The Los Angeles Times said Benson’s connection with Cole was not based on simulations but on ‘the ability of two fine jazz artists to successfully, and musically, reach out to a beyond-genre audience.”

Benson and his ensemble, joined by a six-piece choir and a 28-piece string orchestra conducted by Randy Waldman (conductor for Barbara Streisand, Josh Groban and others), pays tribute spanning classic Nat King Cole hits with lush orchestrations and, at times, delightful be-bop “King Cole Trio” interpretations.
