YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 25, NOYAN TAPAN. The Yerevan concert of
American jazz guitarist and singer George Benson will not take
place.
As NT correspondent was informed by the "Armenian Jazz -
70" Office, the reason is the cancellation of the Moscow concert
of George Benson. It was planned that prior to coming to Armenia
where he was invited to participate in the events dedicated to
the 70th jubilee of Armenian jazz, the U.S. musician was to
give a concert in Moscow on November 29. However, his concert in
the capital city of Russia was cancelled due to the global
financial crisis.
According to the same source, George Benson said that he
could not go to "that region" for only one concert.
