"Tell it like it is" Benson's style is that of a true jazz player finding popularity in pop without "selling out." He is known for his silky clear guitar leads which often feature harmonized complexities. His vocals could be characterized as a masculine Stevie Wonder. While there are many quality jazz guitarist and solid R&B vocalists, unique to Benson's sound is the "scat-lead." As featured in Benson's version of "On Broadway," Benson will vocalize in unison with his guitar lead. As a jazz improvisario makes their instrument "talk," so Benson's doubly makes his two instruments "talk" simultaneously.
