LEE
RITENOUR RIT'S
HOUSE
b.
1 November 1953, Los Angeles, California, USA. The prolific Ritenour has
established himself as one of the world's leading jazz fusion guitarists with
a series of accessible albums over the past two decades. Known as 'Captain
Fingers', Ritenour became a sought-after session player in the mid-70s and,
like Larry
Carlton (both regularly play a Gibson 335), has developed his own solo
career. Although heavily influenced in his early days by the relaxed styles of
Wes
Montgomery, Joe
Pass and Barney
Kessel, he now has his own distinctive sound and fluid style. His list
of session work is awesome, but some of his notable performances were with Herbie
Hancock, Steely
Dan and Stanley
Clarke. Since the mid-80s Ritenour has been strongly influenced by
Brazilian music.
