Giblet Gravy

George Benson

Verve Vault Series edition

Giblet Gravy, released in 1968 on Verve Records, documents guitarist George Benson during his early period with the label. Produced by Esmond Edwards and featuring arrangements by Tom McIntosh, the album places Benson within a studio framework that alternates between small-group interplay and expanded ensemble writing.

The sessions draw on a range of jazz and studio musicians, including pianist Herbie Hancock, bassists Ron Carter and Bob Cranshaw, drummer Billy Cobham, percussionist Johnny Pacheco, and baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams, alongside a brass and rhythm section assembled for selected tracks.

Across these varied settings, Benson's fluid articulation, blues-inflected phrasing, and rhythmic dexterity remain the music's central focus. The repertoire blends contemporary popular material, standards, and original compositions — the title track and "Low Down and Dirty" — illustrating the stylistic breadth that would inform Benson's later crossover success while remaining grounded in the late-1960s jazz ensemble format.

The Verve Vault Series is an exclusive vinyl reissue collection that brings the golden era of jazz back to life. Curated by Verve Label Group and UMe, this series offers audiophile-grade pressings of iconic jazz albums. Each release is meticulously mastered from original analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal in Germany.
