"Breezin"' is an album by jazz/soul guitarist George Benson.

The album marked the beginning of Benson's most successful period commercially. "Breezin"' topped both the Pop and R&B album charts in Billboard and spun off two hit singles, the title song (which has become a smooth jazz) standard) and "This Masquerade," which was a top ten pop and R&B hit.
