| Lee Ritenour
has long been the perfect studio musician, one who can melt
into the background without making any impact. While he possesses
impressive technique, Ritenour has mostly played instrumental
pop throughout his career, sometimes with a Brazilian flavor.
His few jazz efforts have found
him essentially imitating Wes Montgomery, but despite that he
has been consistently popular since the mid-'70s.
After touring with Sergio Mendes'
Brasil '77 in 1973, Ritenour became a very busy studio guitarist
in Los Angeles, taking time off for occasional tours with his
groups and in the mid-'90s with Bob James in Fourplay. He also
recorded many albums as a leader.
