Stanley speaks about thé Art of Bass: supporting, yielding, giving what's needed, with ease and feel... A soulful man and player, generous, humble, vibrant, juste liké our old friend George Duke... Thanks you for who you are, Dear Stan!

I met Stanley Banks way back in the 1980s in Saratoga, NY. He was staying at the hotel my group played in. I was at the bar one afternoon and Stanley and the rest of the band (George Benson's band) was going for a sound check at Saratoga Performing Arts Center and he couldn't eat the order of oysters he just had placed in front of him since their car had arrived and he gave them to me! A few years later at the same hotel I met the whole band again and it was about 3am and they wanted to find a diner and get breakfast so I was their guide and I got to have breakfast with Stanley and the band. Finally, about 20 years later, I met Stanley one afternoon at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas and he actually remembered me from Saratoga. He arranged for me to go backstage after Benson's show and say hello to George. Stanley Banks is an incredible musician and a great human being. Thanks for giving me a chance to talk about the wonderful guy!

Hey Stanley, not sure you would remember me, back in 87, while the city sleeps European tour, I was George's PA/ valet, me and you became friends and I met you many times after over the years, you were an integral part of my life me being only 21 years of age, you were a gentleman and a great mentor to me in the music business, peace to you my old friend.

Uno de los mejores bajistas del mundo tanto por sus conocimientos y la manera extraordinaria en que ejecuta el instrumento, una forma especial de experimentar la música. Mis mejores deseos desde Venezuela..... 'believe or not'

I met Stanley back in 2013 in Perth Australia. What a humble guy he is. He invited me a glass of wine. I will never forget that moment. I wish I could saw him again. Mr. Banks you are one of my bass heroes. Thank you so much for being a true inspiration to me.

[@mordecaikucai9532]

Really happy and jolly guy back there. Love it😍

[@ericriffon4163]

Lovely person in life. I absolutely expecteded that from someone who could play with so much soul, Warmth (and groove) as he does with Benson on the "absolutely live" concert. I am glad i discovered Stanley Banks, it gives me a lot of inspiration to work even harder on my bass playing. A new and big fan from Paris/France

[@iluvjazz7]

I love his playing and his energy. I always look for him with George. When they are together, look out! I remember Ester Phillips too. My brother was raving about Ester. She had a thing for my little brother. LOL

[@stofferrussell]

A great humble guy who gave an amazing performance last night in Marbella at GB's concert. Was lucky to meet him afterwards for a chat and how he was discovered in Café Wha, and another genius that is Ron Long. You can see that Stanley loves his craft.
