Jazz-funk releases, week 38

A reissue of George Benson's long-lost 'King' tribute track surfaces, while the Complete Columbia Recordings of Miles Davis and John Coltrane are announced for re-release. Meanwhile, Ibrahim Maalouf and Hiba Tawaji debut their collaborative album A la française, and Bob James continues his forward-looking evolution with Tony Grey and Nostalgia.
