Lee Ritenour - Night Rhythms

[@Bassic778]

Phenomenal musicians with phenomenal musicianship!!! Melvin Lee Davis is a MONSTER BASSIST!!!!!

[@josezamudio6412]

One of the greatest nights of my life was in Mexico City when I saw Lee Ritenour in concert with Alex Acuña, Abraham Laboriel and Patrice Rushen. He autographied my CDs and my DVDs and we took pictures together!

[@brianmi40]

Same here, years ago had a ticket scalper in Houston who would include backstage passes with your tickets! Lee signed for me, asking where I got the album slip sheet, I told him I had pulled if out of the back of the CD case, and he commented how clever that was! Great years in music.

[@rone6622]

LOVE the drummer in this rendition. Just owns the pocket!

[@drumman806]

Who is the drummer? His pocket is solid!

[@robertoarcher5967]

Lee such a splendid Guitar... Am from Central América El Salvador. I had the pleasure knowing his unforgetable compositions when in the 80's live 5 years in LA California.... Great song....

[@Chamuel1310]

2023 …and Still sounds AMAZING! I share with everyone! ❤ Been loving on our Peeps for a lifetime! Lee, Melvin, Eric & youngblood on the drums! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 BRAVO BROTHERS!!!

[@JazzBass7]

I seriously cannot finish studying for my finals listening to this song. The bass is making me get my Marcus Miller bass out and learn this song. Every note he plays makes me want to jump outta my seat....I love it!!!!!!! His groove is awesome!!! Lee is that guy man....his groove is sweet too!! 5 stars for the whole band!!!!

[@thejimmyjsmoovenetwork7804]

I think he does the original on the album

[@Honeedew1LUV]

It never ceases to amaze me how jazz never ever ever vets old.❤ I luv this jam.

[@Saut-i1v]

C est le meilleur morceau ça..Wouaw 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 en 2024 c est toujours un grand bonheur ❤️👍👏 sa 🎸 est transparentes, excellent 🙂

[@kwesi01]

What a beautiful tone Lee Ritenour gets - I've always loved his music since the "Is it you?" days in the early 80s. Truly, a wonderful musician who gets together with other great musicians in a noticeably ego-free environment to deliver a really special kind of music. I love this guy!!!

[@gohuskies583]

If you have not seen this entire DVD, you are missing out. It is 2 hours + of musical perfection. I watched it three times the first night I had it. Freaking musical genious!

[@excalibur7667]

How can 187 people dislike this melody, it's got everything!

[@moisesherreraa]

The drummer isn’t precise, the keyboard is leveling low and the mix work is not the best… but Lee and the music are spectacular.

[@MarcusNilsen]

Lee RItenour is one best guitarist in each category, a truly legend inside the world of music.

[@a_thousandsuns]

Legend!

[@ManelRuivo]

too few comments about this fantastic drummer. first time I saw and listened this dvd years ago, I thought the guy sounded amazing and unique, and now I still do think this. fantastic kit, tight pocket, and the timing of some fills here are very out of the common! ladies and gentlemen, OSCAR SEATON!!!

[@Swedefunkygirl]

yes I agree, he is super

[@1960jack]

I agree, let Oscar chop away!

[@Gentle50113]

100,he is a great guy.I also love his fills.

[@scifibob]

He's immediately ready for any changes, just look at him adapting. It's a pleasure.

[@groovalistical]

Incredible fills... Incredible drummer.

[@myyt4n]

Mr. Lee Ritenour! That man has soul! Definitely one of my favorite guitarists.

[@TheaRose]

Glad I found this. Great memories 🎵🎼👍❤🍷🙂

[@Jazzgirl8888]

Lee Ritenour's DVD "Overtime" is worth every penny .I like all of the songs ."Papa was a Rolling Stone" is very entertaining to watch.

[@boytumbuling]

This is music. Yes, few audience, few people that give applause. But that is the wonder of music, it is for the FEW who understand what it really means.

[@alexisernestosanchez4418]

No sabía de Victor Tomasino. Y de ese hermoso talento que posee. Es grande este señor. Anoche tuve la oportunidad de conocerle de una manera extraña. Me tocó el hermoso privilegio de transportarlo de un punto del gran San Salvador y llevarlo a su casa. Jejeje entro al auto fumando e iba a decirle que apagara su cigarro cuando se me adelantó y lo lanzo por la venta del auto. Me pregunto como me iba en la ubereada, a lo que respondí que no me quejaba y que Dios ha sido bueno. De inmediato me miro y me dijo; tú eres un artista y tocas la guitarra. ¡!Me sorprendió😮 !! Se identificó y me pidió que pusiera el KZbin y pidiera martes 8:30 y de pronto aparece este señor tocando piezas hermosas de manera magistral. Mi admiración y respeto para Don Victor Tomasino y mis agradecimientos al Dios todo poderoso por bendecirnos con este talentoso hombre. Bendiciones don Víctor y espero se recupere pronto. Hasta el próximo viaje 😊

[@meerkatandpug]

Amazing musicians! I felt a bit sorry for Lee because somebody seems to have stolen half his guitar just before they went on stage, but he still made it sound fantastic. Respect!

[@markadrianbarrameda]

ahahaha LOL

[@hahabass]

John Smith Nice one John.

[@Chamuel1310]

Mr. Eric Marienthal on the sax, yall -- ANOTHER SEXY Bruthah who understands the true nature of music across the color lines - loving it!

[@Chamuel1310]

HONEST TO GOD…MELVIN with THAT BASS, THO! SUREAL!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 BRAVO, BRUTHAH! 😎🤩💝💕💕💕

[@legranddangelosafford589]

One of the best jazz guitarist lee ritenour

[@a_thousandsuns]

밤에 들면 나만의 로맨스가 시작되게 하는 곡이에요. 처음 들었을때부터 너무 좋아했어요. 라이브 버젼은 역시 최고에요.

[@임홍순-x7k]

나만의 로맨스라니 넘 멋져요🌸

[@CarolBartos]

The drummer is amazing😮wtf man u are the best!

[@twistedlabrador7136]

The bass and the drums killed it!

[@Nigel-ef2ft]

I thought they were really good.

[@pauldecastro5374]

got to see lee bACK IN 1982, IN THE TINY CELLAR DOOR CLUB In DC, just knew this guy was special, and have followed his career since, love all of his music ,, very soothing. go LEE..

[@ianlim6328]

This is the video that inspired me to pick up the bass back in 2009. Thank you Melvin Davis!

[@davideposillipo7363]

Yeah, thank you Melvin Davis and thank you Marcus Miller, the creator of the original groove of this song. Two masters!

[@Soundwave1900]

As for me, this is the video that made me into saxophonist. Saw it when I was 9 y/o, now I live by playing at weddings e.g. at 23. Still adore Marienthal with every fiber of my soul!

[@mehlhardt]

Have seen him in concert 3 times and met him in Seattle a few years back, Not only one of the most incredible musicians of our times but a true gentleman. Six String theory cd is crazy good.

[@Jazzgirl8888]

Great musicians!One of Ritenour's best!Oscar Seaton is hot on those drums!Great video!

[@neilaustindenny]

I have listened to every version of this song that I can find. This i think is the best by far. The guys nailed it. Thanks guys.

[@taniadolphy5122]

This is CLASS!

[@nanabasuky7631]

Amazing.. and great... hear this video, i'm forget that i was 47 years old... music never see how old we are, i have ben feeling like a teenage... :)

[@TSS1994]

Got to know Lee Ritenour after i bought george benson's album and listened to the song ONE LIKE YOU. Searched for Lee Ritenour, Clicked this video... And realised i've been missing out on many great legends.

[@player26891]

im like watching this over and over again, its like an inspiration for me, to play with a band this tight is not easy, the drummer is good! definitely a band player

[@TLDavis1230]

I always like the bass line to this song; that's what initially sold me. Big ups to Lee Ritenour (Captain Fingers) on this one!!!!

[@cincocuerdas]

Amazing ! Melvin is a monster of groove. Killer bass

[@KevinKallhoff-mk4su]

Damn,the bass drives this song so nice!

[@verifinev]

Oh my goodness!!!! wow!!!! everyone brings in such sweet talent - Can't get any better than this !!! Thank You. Looking forward to see you in West Palm Beach, FL -

[@Chi2SC]

He is so smooth. I especially like it when Dave Grusin plays along with him.

[@SAXYASFOLK]

Don't you just love it when a band is as tight as this, what seriously cool band

[@scifibob]

This is my favorite track ever on youtube by one of my favorite artists Lee Ritenour. I keep watching it over and over again. In my opinion it's a close to perfect sync between artists. The drummer keeps up on the changes, and the bass, wow, it's just floating right through the whole time. But it is a clip you need to watch, not just listen to without video. Not that the soundtrack doesn't sound good by itself, but the video makes it even better.

[@mrnaled]

love lee he is the best ever smooth funky jazz guitarist tha i have come across so far

[@ferrellscott4476]

Haven't listened to Rittenour in years. Still got it.

[@howlnwolf59]

Lee Ritenour is so smooth and clear on his guitar. Love his Brazilian stuff. Try his Festival CD.

[@socaljvgsxr]

I agree. "Festival" is a great CD of it's time.

[@genesisgamalielmontecino2841]

The sexiest bassline of the lifetime.

[@Eddie_Mungus]

Love that bass

[@hakanerken]

what he makes me feel is like a snowflake melting under a hot august sun.. thanks mr. ritenour.. for the vibe..

[@polkzoo]

Very sweet and love the bass player. Nice Lee.

[@mikemarzett8833]

I have the video full video this was taken from, Overtime. The saxophonist is definitely Eric Marienthal. If you listen to the end he says It. There may be other versions of this recording with a different saxophone player including Mel Gibson, but this isn’t one of them.

[@orlandoCF1]

Bassist is killin, tone out of this world. Jazz tone is most intense. (Melvin Davis)

[@porkbelly0713]

Melvin has always been a superstar on bass, but I do like Marcus Miller and Stanley Clarke, and Travis Carlton, Larry's son is also outstanding

[@Jazzbass313]

Killing it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Jason5818UI]

His sounds like Marcus miller

OMG Oscar Seaton's drumming is so tight! I love the phrasing in the solo with him and Lee toward the end.

I always liked the song, and with talents like Lee Ritenour and Eric Marienthal you really can't go wrong...thanks so much for the post.

Sorry for being off topic but a crazy guy just made backing track on this song for ALL instruments! /watch?v=ut5KNKdHOPs (in the description)

If there is one dude out there maybe better than Marcus M then this is the man

[@silvershadow7655]

@@paulbentley2709 Don't be silly. Even Melvin Davis himself would disagree with you.

[@Jason5818UI]

​​@@paulbentley2709lol no way....emulating someone doesn't make u better than them ...Melvin is clearly influenced by Marcus not the other way around....lost count how many bass players from amateurs to pros try and emulate Marcus ...Marcus is on another level ...far more to his style than just tone and slap

Lee Ritenour as usual is fantabulous
