Collaboration (George Benson & Earl Klugh album). Collaboration is a smooth jazz studio album by George Benson and Earl Klugh released in 1987. George Benson – electric guitar. Earl Klugh – classical guitar. Marcus Miller – bass guitar. Paul Jackson Jr. – rhythm guitar. Greg Phillinganes – keyboards. Harvey Mason – drums.

Klugh sounds much more mature and forthcoming here than he did as a teenager in Benson's CTI days. Yet Benson still blows him away with his effortless swing, endless invention (within the constraints of the carefully controlled arrangements, however) and totally assured placement of the notes. Mimosa" has some especially fluid work by Benson, with Klugh serving as an effective foil. The backing is mostly an electronic wash, though underpinned by solid funk support from former Benson bandmembers Harvey Mason and Paulinho Da Costa
