A technical giant with the soul of an old black blues player from the south. He touches that guitar like a lover under the moon light and we all are blessed.
There are great musicians, then there are a few musicians a notch about greatness. It has been an absolute pleasure and blessing to have listened to Fourplay since 1991, when I was a freshman in High School!! I have developed my acumen for music, especially jazz because of Lee Ritenour, Bob James, Nathan East Harvey Mason, Larry Carlton and Chuck Loeb. However, Lee Ritenour and Bob Jame's incredible musicianship on the guitar and Keyboard continue to boggle my mind!!!
Haven't seen this in ages....one of Lee's best for sure. I had the great privelege of being able to see Lee when he played weekly at the Baked Potato in Studio City, CA. I didn't miss too many of those nights. Harvey Mason and Dave Grusin played with him there on my first visit to see him. Also playing Ernie Watts on sax and Anthony Jackson on Bass. Great times.
Mr. Lee Ritnour at his very best -- been a HUGE FAN since high school -- (1980's) - Thank you for the AWESOME reminder of what a truly phenominal musician Lee is on his own -- xxoo QT.
This was recorded in the late 1990s, and there was no HD back then. It looks like it was recorded on video instead of film. This is probably as good as the picture quality will ever get.
Lee Ritenour je moja láska vždy je pre mňa jednotka! Džez ako hudbu mi ukázal môj strýko ktorý tiež počúval džez už je hore v nebíčku a pozerá sa z hora.Velmi mi chýba ale keď si pustím Lee Ritenour smútok v srdci sa zmieri .
It is truly a rare ocassion to get all you favorite musicians onn stage at once - Fourplay is a EUPHORIC SENSATION for me! Thanx, Love, for posting thid phenominal recording of the very best in smooth jazz. xxoo sending u warm smiles* QT
some of my freinds are stuck on old rock and roll,like petty,allmans,zepplin,they no nuthin of great music like this,im so glad that back in 81 i was guided into jazz,thank god,ive been lucky to see people from miles to metheny,to this and so much more,i still thank those 2 ppl for guiding me,what a journey(another hasbeenband),even tho neal schon kix ass,anyway,thank u gods of jazzfor showing me the way
I happy to hear that I'm not the only person who thinks like this. I grew up in the 60's, listened to "oldies" when they were new.....70's where I discovered Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, Chick Corea, and others. Listened to the music of the 80's and 90's and found some musical themes that were very good, bu, It seems the my musical tastes evolved over the years where other contemporaries stayed in the days gone by.
Addendum: I lived in Traverse City, MI from the early 70's to about 1984. In the late 70's Bob James bought a home in the area. He had a couple of children who attended Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen, MI. I saw him three times in concert at Interlochen. Fantastic. At one of the concerts he introduced a new flautist that he had found in the Detroit area - Alexander Zonjic. Look this guy up for some more fantastic jazz flute.
Fantastic! Lee's guitar melody sounds to me like Dvorak from classic music. What a sophiscated combination of music as the band! This music video is one of top three I encountered in 2012.
On the intro, Lee was channeling his fast-pick-octave-scales which he made famous in Strawberry Letter No. 23 guitar solo on the Bros Johnson famous Jackie Brown soundtrack from the 70's, a hot disco-funk-R/B-fusion track that everyone loves without knowing what its title is or means or who Shuggie Otis is or was in the day. Anyone know what I am alluding to?
I remember when Rit was rated #4 in US session guitarists...behind Carlton, Dennis Brudmere and #1....Tommy Todesco. Always enjoyed LR’s playing - fluid, passionate yet tastful.
Good guitar, whatever the brand. Lee is just awesome with this great group of musicians. Can't wait to see them perform in Holland on November 6th, 2011. Pity Lee won't be there. And a good time will be had by all anyway!
I’ve been a huge fourplay fan for quite a while Larry Carlton and lee ritenour are both fantastic! Along with joe pass and pat martino and Wes Montgomery this is real music! I used to listen to metal or rock back in the seventies but no more this far surpasses that heavy metal crap I used to listen to
Lee must be if not THE best guitarist out there, among the top three, if you ever can rate guitarists. I personally rank Gary Moore as the best in the rockblues genre.
How many of you really know your music? If you think you do, please identify what Lee was channeling (famous tune he played on) in his opening solo with the rapid up/down scales, explosion of notes? Does the Brothers Johnson ring a bell??? $100 to the first lady who comes up with the correct answer.....

What a wonderful improvisation and what skill,he is among the most famous guitarist played jazz rock
The greatest solo, I will always come to this video when I need my mind to relax
One of my favorite guitarist
This is mesmerising - the build up into main beat touches my soul
I wish they re-release this on blu-ray hopefully in 4k. This was Fourplay's best.

Definitivo mi banda favorita del smooth jazz , fourplay, ojalá vengan a México
Must just agree with you. He got my attention to this kind of jazz, funk and FUSION.
Fantastic! Lee's guitar melody sounds to me like Dvorak from classic music. What a sophiscated combination of music as the band! This music video is one of top three I encountered in 2012.

Nice! Intro is a bit like Chieli Minucci's Speak to me... vice versa? :-)
i not live in the same era as Wes Montgomery.
But, I live in the same era as Lee now.
