Great live performance by George Benson at Montreux Jazz Festival in 1986. Playing "Take Five", jazz standard written by Paul Desmond. Performed first time by The Dave Brubeck Quartet, recorded on "Time Out" album in 1959, became the biggest-selling jazz single ever.
Edit after years...
Found much better quality video of Benson playing Taje 5 in 1978. Worth watching really https://www.veojam.com/watch/137 ...

Agreed. There was no better Take 5 after Benson

Personally I regret that Benson is playing more commercial music than jazz. No doubt he's an excellent guitarist.
