Larry Carlton & Lee Ritenour At Newport Jazz Festival 1995 playing "L.A. Underground

[@ejmy]

Oh man, the smile on the drummer face says it all.

[@darnoldie]

Obviously the two men on guitars are legends in jazz. But that drummer!! Those skins were begging for mercy after the pounding he gave them. Just an outstanding performance.

[@brucereed7823]

That is one cool groove and his fills are awesome!

[@GuitarAddict69]

I believe that's Land Richards, I saw him with Hiroshima a couple years ago and he was fantastic.

[@BGdrummer]

@@GuitarAddict69 tis Land for sure. Cat is awesome

[@jeffreyharper2731]

What a happy jazzy tune. I'm going to play this during my last night just before I retire from working. What a good way to say "see ya"

[@Andrewkafp]

Bunch of Legends in that band. Pure talent

[@Lossaavedra]

Larry Carlton's tone is THE ULTIMATE TONE! amazing! Both A1 guitar players!

[@supreDrross09]

Two great guitarist with a gift to blow your mind a blast from the past !!!

[@Happydad54]

Larry's right hand has always blown me away! He gets so many amazing tones, attacks, dynamics, with such smoothness and effortlessness! Fun to listen to, hard to imitate! Yes!

[@HeeHawCapital]

you smart. yes it is about the picking hand. bravo...

[@mrdomo1949]

Thats got to be the best drummer I heard in many years. He got it going on!

[@kurtsband]

These two bring out the best in each other, such a great album they did together. This is a smoking performance! I've seen Lee a few times, really a fun guy and an incredible talent. Larry's work with Steely Dan, so tasty.

[@MY599FERRARI]

I was there, it was a spectacular weekend the weather was PERFECT !

[@torb56]

Lucky you!

[@kazkusaka6046]

This tune makes me happy!

[@IMunoz_momentum]

The drummer is a beast!

[@geetarnut]

Every time I hear this song, i can't help remarking about the drummer,,, wow!!! Excellent song all around,,, so fresh and exciting, great composition!!!

[@AlfredoZamudio-b1p]

I saw both of them in concert in Mexico City! Lee in 2007 and Larry in 2009!

[@geetarnut]

UNREAL,,, WHAT A GREAT VERSION OF "L.A. UNDERGROUND"!!! I'M ALWAYS AMAZED AT LARRY CARLTON! LEE IS SUPERB TOO,, THANK GOD FOR REAL TALENT! IF ONLY THE YOUNG PEOPLE WOULD LISTEN TO THIS STUFF AND KNOW WHAT'S TRULY GOOD MUSIC!

[@teodulosoriano8643]

Two of the BEST guitarist in the world !

[@pretorious700]

I met Lee in an airport once-really nice humble guy.

[@HennesysHernandez]

@Bj4pino LAND RICHARDS is the name of the drummer...

[@lucaorlandi8678]

Buonasera, good as gold😊

[@crowfoot7355]

Had the pleasure to see Lee at Disney world. I had no idea what a treat I was in for.

[@245ti]

2:02 best drum fill. Everyone turned their head. Takes a lot to impress those guys.

[@sammyrothrock6981]

The most significant musicians in my whole lifetime!! Saw them both many times both friends!! As a guitarist myself they influenced me since the 70s!!!

[@funkyloran]

The drum part is awesome. What a sound ..

[@DogCatchersBand]

Damn even pairing of 2 fine players.

[@mantoocha]

@geetarnut I totally understand your point, but I would have never fully appreciated this when I was younger. This is 100% good taste man, in every single note they play.

[@lorenzino1]

Hi ! In this video, we can compare Lee Ritenour's style and Larry Carlton's one. I've' always prefered Lee Ritenour's style, but that engages just myself ; in fact, I like both, they are really great guitarists. BYE !

[@hectorgamez1000]

all these guys are really good.this is a masterpiece of jazz why dont you post some more from the same presentation.thanx.

[@nikos10golf]

really flawless...stunning..both holly monsters !!!!

[@gerardmanjoue]

Great Drummer !

[@ProbableCauseBluesBand]

Wow this song just keeps getting better and better!!!

[@749karakara]

de la musique haute en couleurs ,magnifique, merci pour la vidéo et vive le monde multi pigmentation!!!

[@DJ_5280]

Fantastic live version of a great studio jam between two top notch guitarists. Lee plays a jazz style guitar, hence the smoother sounding notes. Larry has a more jazz/rock style, kind of like Al DiMeola.

[@jsm355]

@gerraywest I agree with you except to add that each of these superb musicians & guitarists are EQUALLY adept at what they do and at times can mimic each other due to there experience in the music world . Each are Chameleons as they are BOTH ... STYLISTS .... and have a deep understanding of what to play as well as what NOT to play in any given circumstance . And yet both are of the same coin . It matters not who is on the front or the back. Incredible muscians . Period.

[@robster7316]

What an absolute joy to watch these guys! The top of the heap, for sure. :-)

[@kenjohnson2925]

It doesn’t get much better than this…🤘

[@michaelireland7239]

never can never will

[@AmpCordAxe]

Machines......with feeeeel! & taste! & tones! And 3:24-3:27 when I see a Band Mate smiling like that I know we're killin' it

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

5:13 lol

[@barts.3366]

Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, Rick Jackson (keys,) Melvin Davis (bass,) and Land Richards (drums.) you would be hard pressed to find 5 more talented musicians! Studio musicians can literally play anything, but not may can play like this. Simply sublime. I've made some efforts to find this performance on CD or DVD and it's no longer produced. We should be thankful we have this video. Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!

[@glennk1931]

Excellent musicians...

[@Qpidon]

That drummer...WOAW! (full time job the guy!)

[@joetaimanglo7104]

Finally got the chords together and lead..20 years later got this music arrangement in by Larry Carlton down padded 😊 I dedicate this song " Smile and Smiles To Go " to my Lovely wife +Karel passed away this year August 13, 2024...I'll jammin' soon at Seahawk Cocktail Lounge, 4103 Candlewood Street, Lakewood, Ca...Jammin' with Mikal Keyboardist ...October 26, 2024, Saturday 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm....

[@BGdrummer]

Land Richards: one of the best "unsung" drummers in the business!

[@Petra2013able]

Fantastic foot stomping... Electrifying music

[@MyCharles51]

[@MarioCaster92]

[@SIXSTRING63]

Great video ! huge Larry fan and what a pleasure to see him on a Les Paul. He and Lee played very well together on this.

[@vince2x2]

Awesome! Lee and Larry in top form as usual, terrific keyboards and bass, but...what an AMAZING drummer!!! Thank you for posting.

[@EAkings]

UNBELIVEABLE!!!! FANTASTIC!!!

[@Eugenie666]

I think the drummer is Land Richards

[@JRemyJo]

I didn't think that Lee was so good! he is more then powerfull

[@jsm355]

There's a reason I love these guys and respect them as I do . LISTEN . Feels so GOOD .

[@SandraLox]

One of my favorite songs ever, I used it to sample speakers, the highs, lows and meds are awesome!

[@MrGsdavis72]

[@EleventhRiff]

Cool music

[@davidemiliocamargocamargo976]

Winter park jazzy concert 80s

[@SuperStig23]

Nice contrast of great players

[@jmmixer]

Its the keyboard sounds that get me.. really evokes that "glen gary glen ross" soundtrack vibe...

[@skipit650]

I love this. Something you don't see to often Larry on a Les Paul and not his 335.

[@jerrymcgeorge4117]

Love this.

[@Ronsanality]

These guys are a POWERFUL MUSICAL GROOVE ! LOVE THIS JAZZZZZZZ

[@geetarnut]

so cool, wow!!!!!

[@Lin-Rock_262]

WOW!

[@chicagosaxsam]

2 of the Greatest Guitarist on the Planet !!

[@spencerkunikiwass4660]

Even if I was a quadraplegic I'd still be groovin madly!!!...Theses gents light up my jazzy side with every note...

[@geetarnut]

Can you pleae post more of this concert,,,, I beg you!!! LOL!!!

[@triclone123]

Way cool! Thanks!

[@1234intune]

Damn that L5 Lee is playing sounds awesome! I like the reverb and delay he has going on too.

[@janapelt2941]

Świetny kawałek.

[@MDugardin]

Thankx a lot for that great great video !

[@ShopRat25]

That drummer is on FIRE!!!

[@alfacar54]

*****We need more JAZZ in Colorado """

[@calli280]

Dos genios...!

[@easyguitare]

i might be wrong but on this take they have less grrove than the album version or even the gig they had in Japan one year earlier... Still it's good to hear 'em play that tune : i love it.

[@michaelireland7239]

drummer is sooooooo good

[@KEN1955K]

AWESOME GUITARISTS !!!!!!!

[@mrguillemot]

well that was pretty hot! Still Lee looks like the nerdy sort of character you see in the Simpsons or Family, BUT farq me he can play that guitar so he has my admiration. As for LC, just looks odd without a trusty 335 and that LP looks small on him, but again he sure can play (as always :-) ). Great tune and thanks for posting

[@whyshouldidothatnow]

What a crazy drummer!

[@xapile]

ça bouge , et ça prend son pied en jouant , superbe jazz

[@matt4270]

Larry on a 57 Les Paul Goldtop. Sounds great!!

[@jacey714]

Yes!

[@alexdavisgruppo]

ritmo pazzesco ...grandi...daie

[@dmljones2550]

Lee the more jazzier of the two influenced by Wes Montgomery. No doubt that Larry’s lead work was spectacular jazz rock fusion playing. He is something else.

[@albertoportocarrero9600]

greattttttttttttttttt

[@RobertVeasquez]

The best version by far. If you cant feel that groove, check yourself into the hospital.

[@ArtLogins]

Colorful

[@ricardogarchitorena3621]

very rare nowaday's...wish could bring back time....

[@justanaverageguytoday]

love larry on the les paul. and lee is the perfect contrast

[@geetarnut]

Right from jumpstreet,, bang,,, they off! tight as a well-drillers,,,, you know what!!! Unreal!!!
