J-S, You can download a ton of Benny Rogers' recordings here:

I'm a great fan of Benny, but I cannot say the George de Fretes style is all that reminiscent to me. Although George is playing electric, his style reminds me more of Sol K. Bright's tricone work on Malihini Mele. I'll try to upload it to SoundCloud.
