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.
