"Lee Ritenour, a superior studio guitarist, has recorded very few jazz albums throughout his career, preferring to play melodic pop and light funk. On the rare occasions when he has had an urge to perform jazz, Ritenour has been more than happy to show off the influence of Wes Montgomery; therefore, this tribute is a logical move... Ritenour mostly plays pieces from the later (and more commercial) half of Montgomerys career, along with four of his own originals that are sort of in the tradition. He also hedges his bet a little by throwing in a Bob Marley reggae tune. For jazz listeners who wish to sample some Lee Ritenour, this is one of his better recordings..."- Scott Yanow

"Creatively, Lee Ritenour has had his ups and downsover the years. Many of the guitarists commercial pop-jazz efforts have wastedhis skills as an improviser; when Ritenour is catering to NAC/smooth jazzradio, improvisation is the usually the first thing to go. But when Ritenourdoes have a chance to stretch out, he can be an appealing improviser. Althoughquite accessible, Rits House is among his more memorable and substantialefforts. This 2002 release has a soul-jazz/post-bop outlook that often recallsthe late 60s and early 70s; for the most part, it is the sort of album thatguitarist Grant Green would have been comfortable recording during that era.But Ritenours guitar playing owes a lot more to Wes Montgomery, who isobviously his primary influence on Gabor Szabos "Mizrab," as well asoriginal tunes like "78th & 3rd" (which features organist JoeyDeFrancesco) and the dusky "Olinda." One of the albums best trackshas nothing to do with jazz: "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic."Featuring former Doobie Brothers vocalist Michael McDonald, this interestingremake of the Polices 1981 hit is not only a departure from the rest of thealbum -- it is also a big departure from the original version. While thePolices version was up-tempo pop/rock, Ritenour and McDonald transform"Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" into an adult contemporary/quietstorm ballad. That track is the albums only vocal offering; the rest of RitsHouse is instrumental. Arguably, 1992s Wes Bound is still Ritenours beststudio album -- certainly from a jazz perspective. But this album is alsorespectable, and those who enjoyed hearing the guitarist stretching out on thatmostly straightahead disc will also find a lot to enjoy about RitsHouse." - Alex Henderson

Lee RitenourDreamcatcher 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP (Orange Vinyl)Rits First Ever Solo Guitar Album On Limited Edition 180gOrange Vinyl LP!
Lee Ritenour celebrates 60 years of playing guitar with afirst ever "solo guitar" album, entitled Dreamcatcher!
For Lee Ritenour, there arent many firsts left toachieve. During his dazzling five-decade career, the fabled LA guitarist hastaken his music to the outer limits, alighting on every genre and occupyingevery position in the rock n roll firmament. Hes been an enfant terrible of70s fusion, a crossover star of the 80s pop chart, an honorary exponent ofBrazilian jazz, and the fingers behind 90s supergroup, Fourplay. Ritenoursaccolades include: 45 albums,16 Grammy nominations, Alumnus of the year at USC,Los Angeles Jazz Society Honoree (2019), plus thousands of sessions withlegends such as Frank Sinatra, Pink Floyd, B.B. King and Tony Bennett, amongothers. And yet, when he checks the rear-view mirror, the 68-year-oldacknowledges hes never made a record like Dreamcatcher.
"People have been telling me for years: Rit, you gottamake a solo guitar record. In the past, Ive always been the band guy, theensemble guy, the collaborative-guitar-player guy. So this was the one projectI hadnt done. And this year, I knew it was time."
Weaving tapestries of instrumental guitar and conjuringeclectic moods, the 12 tracks of Dreamcatcher rank amongst the most melodic andtinglingly beautiful in Ritenours catalogue. But theres a power and purposehere, too, hinting at the darker circumstances that sparked this new record.
"Our house and my studio in Malibu, California burntdown in 2018," he recalls. "About 100 of my guitars went up in thefire, plus 40 amps, lots of music, the history of my whole career, pretty much.A week after the fire, I went to the hospital, which Id never had to dobefore, for surgery to replace an aortic valve. So those incidents and thesupport from my family and friends absolutely went into this music. Making thisrecord was a life-saver for me."
