Beyond the Blue Horizon is a 1971 studio album by American guitarist George Benson. It was his first album released on CTI Records.^[4] Here Benson played with organist Clarence Palmer, drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Ron Carter and percussionists Michael Cameron and Albert Nicholson.

Background

This album followed his last recording with A&M Records, The Other Side of Abbey Road, arranged by Don Sebesky, plenty of brass, strings and with 23 musicians playing at different tracks. Contrary to that Benson recovered at his first CTI release a classical format from a small group that included a Hammond B-3 organ, a type of ensemble in which Benson had a lot of experience recording as a sideman with organist brother Jack MacDuff up to 11 albums^[5] between 1963 and 1965. This was also the kind of group on his debut album as leader in 1964, The New Boss Guitar of George Benson at Prestige Records, also with the organ quartet of Jack MacDuff.

Interviewed^[6] in April 2011 by Anthony Brown and Ken Kimery, Benson said that since this work belongs to the beginnings of CTI Records as an independent label, producer Creed Taylor had to borrow money to make this record, however the guitarist considered it was something positive: «he didn’t have no money to put any sweetening on it, no strings or anything like that» and more a challenge for musicians: «We just wanted to show what we could do». Benson considered this situation an opportunity to make a record special, as he wrote on his autobiography^[7] published by Da Capo Press in 2014: «I thought, I'll just get some great cats, pick some great tunes, and play some great guitar» and this is exactly what he did: «I borrowed Miles Davis's drummer - Jack DeJohnette and brought Ron Carter aboard, so I thought it would be appropriate to honor Miles with a funky cover of So What, his classic modal tune from Kind of Blue. We also experimented with some Middle Eastern vibes, some bossa nova, and some good old bebop».

Reception and critics

More than four decades from its release, in the opinion of Richard Cook and Brian Morton, the latest edition of Beyond the Blue Horizon «still has the right to be one of Benson's best records» as written^[8] in the 7th edition of their Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD. At his AllMusic review^[9] Richard S. Ginell stated that «this is a superb jazz session» and as said by The Jazz Messenger^[10] «it is also probably the single best document of Benson’s technically fluid facility and his musically inventive lyricism at any tempo».

Music and compositions

The performance of Miles Davies's version of ″So What″ on this album is driven by rhythm section of bassist Ron Carter and drummer Jack DeJohnette, who provides strong support for brilliant solos of Benson and organist Clarence Palmer, with lot of changes described by Dan Bilawsky in All About Jazz^[11] as «constantly shifts from funk to up-tempo swing to a half-time feel».

This album contains a brilliant jazz version of Luiz Bonfá's standard ″The Gentle Rain″. It begins with soul notes from Palmer's organ opening a beautiful entrance of George Benson guitar with the melody and inspired improvisations. Bassline of this piece is brought by Palmer's Hammond pedals while Ron Carter introduced some electronic tunes, described at London Jazz News by Andrew Cartmel^[12] as «Mysterioso sonics come from what appears to be Ron Carter playing an electric cello (or a cello with an electric pickup)». Here percussion strongly contributes to reinforce the Latin feeling of this track.

"All Clear" is a George Benson original and his guitar here recalls the style of Wes Montgomery by alternating chords and octaves within fluid improvisation licks. Here Ron Carter is playing once more the electric cello that sometimes remind of meowing a cat. The remastered CD edition included an alternate take of this song recorded in a different swing tempo.

"Ode to a Kudu", another Benson's inspired and intimate jazz ballad composition showing a perfect dialog among three instruments: drums, electric cello and virtuosic guitar playing.

"Somewhere In The East" is the most experimental composition of the album with dueling between the two percussionists of the record, a mixture of afro-Cuban exotic rhythms and guitar improvisations .

Album design

The cover of the original LP of 1971 was designed by Bob Ciano and features Pete Turner's picture^[13] “Flames”, shot in 1964 in Libya as part of a series the photographer produced for Standard Oil. The picture in black and white of George Benson in the inner inlay of the LP was taken by Chuck Stewart.
