JJF18 LEE RITENOUR Java Jazz festival 2018

Lee Ritenour and Wes at Java Jazz

[@bobcathey8903]

Been listening to Lee Ritenour for decades. This performance did not disappoint. Lee must be very proud of his son Wes! His drumming really drew me in. Very creative, physical, and melodic. Great sound!

Lee understands that, after all these many years, melody is at the center. I could listen to his guitar tell stories all day.

LEE RITENOUR IS ONE OF THE BEST MUSICIAN FROM THE WORLD.

[@andrej.gariseb9036]

Wes Montgomery must have had a huge influence on Lee to extent that named his son Wesley Ritenour (drums). Rest of the quartet, with Otmaro Ruiz (piano & keys), and Hadrien Feraud (bass) let by Cpt Fingers gell together perfectly.

Born in '82, not yet into music until '95 when watching GRP Super Live In Japan '87, love his play, became instant fan and then I'm into Jazz since. Because his music are so versatile, from classic to rock, I began to understand and love another genre. Thanks Lee. Also many thanks to digital era, now I can listening to all of his album again after all my Lee's cassette & cd/dvd albums are ruined due to overplay and decayed.

[@lynnestamey7272]

Yep, I've played mine to bits! Love 360!

[@Jimred89strat]

Thanks to these guys for sharing their talents with us. Wow! What a concert!!

[@markw5815]

This is very possibly the best video on KZbin.

[@timtremblay8601]

Refined Jazz Funk to new heights IMHO. Les Ritenour is a super accomplished drummer with great tasteful licks and beats, his drum set's tuned to perfection. You folks really have your $hit Down, I love your music, thanks for providing it.

[@TerryTyrpin]

His son has been working on getting over the nerves and manic hitting of the skins for about 5 years now. Lee was able to use great session percussionists until taking on his son. It's taken about 5 years for the kid's drumming to get up to snuff.

[@Jkuz]

OMG... Lee and Company are HOT!! Wesley has EARNED a spot in this band, and as a drummer myself of 50 years... you are absolutely sensational man!!!!

[@bkeegs123]

I was waiting for my luggage in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl several years ago and there was a group of guys standing around, obviously musicians waiting on their gear. I started idle chitchat with one of them. I asked what band and where they were playing. He said "Lee Ritenour. We are playing at the Hard Rock." At the time I had no idea who he was. Here I am taking to this amazing player and had no clue. He was very kind and didn't seem to mind the chat.

[@eddysel10]

Fantastic as always. Lee is a genius on guitar!!! One of my guitar idols!!!

[@ИгорьДружинин-т2р]

Lee always remains the same, like a song, like life, like an example of harmony.

[@patriciapeoples5667]

Congratulations on this hit and many more hits. Thank you. Love always Patricia ❤😊

[@hakikomorisng8050]

Mr Peter Gontha, sir, please resume leadership of Java Jazz. Your love for and appreciation of jazz has made Java Jazz Festival one of the premier events in the world. Unfortunately your successor, the current management, has not been able to carry on your tradition and legacy; as the result the Festival's quality has diminished. My comment is no reflection on the superb performance herein of Lee Ritenour and his musicians - they were the exception to the otherwise mundane fare at the festival.

[@albertbellorin]

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing music! congratulations to the great Osmaro Ruiz for being in the lineup of Lee Ritenour great keyboard player from Venezuela!

[@ferssio]

Big Deal he is from Venezuela?, how about from the World?.

[@johnrogers9481]

Yes, Venezuela.! Lots of great percussion there. Keyboard, a percussion instrument.

[@jaimegolifardo453]

Lee is a guitar god of jazz ..simply amazing!!!

[@kavemankarl2588]

When he dabs into rock it gets pretty exciting too. He's the quintessential fusion guitarist.

[@ottobhan725]

Lee has found a groove specialists Rhythm section that does it all in background. Whew, what a ‘rocking’ good time had by all interested listeners. Enjoy the rushes.

Ha! The first time I saw the drummer in this video I said, "I wonder if that's Lee's son, he looks so much like him." And then I saw this comment!

[@LeeOLumbroso]

He's great, the bass player is too, but did you, by any chance, catch Lee Ritenour's outfit around the 2000s? I had the luck to see him and his "twin-cousin", Larry Carlton, one after the other (naturally touring together) 2 nights in a row at Disney Village Paris around 2001. He had a blond female drummer that was really amazing, at least 1 (or 2) orders of intensity, strength and playfulness above this very good drummer. :)

[@paulfrantzis1]

J'ai vu Lee ritenour en 2016 a Jazz in Marciac, avec de merveilleux musiciens. Mais la nouvelle équipe assure grave. Le fiston (Wes) a de qui tenir, le bassiste (Hadrien Feraud) excelle, le clavier aussi . Bravo MONSIEUR RITENOUR. Un grand du JAZZ.

[@1967incPhotography]

I thought that I hated modern jazz, but what a great mix of classic and newer jazz sounds!

Technically it's fusion, or jazz-rock if you prefer the original moniker of the genre 🙂

[@AJ-Bruno]

Think about the luxury no work just play, and pass that on.

[@TheWhaddeva]

Living proof that it is not the Guitar but the hands that play it. Lee Ritenour plays Yamaha revstar rs420 guitar through reasonable part of the show. An instrument that can be bought for $AU650. And he still sounds like Lee Ritenour!

[@donlucas3984]

I had a Revstar but I had to sell it, I miss that guitar.

[@hahabass]

Hadrien has really tamed his playing. He's always been amazing but in my opinion, gone is the mad chops and the mad chops... and the mad chops, alone. In is a subtlety making mad chops so much more impactful. This is great! Found quite by accident, but so glad I did.

[@tonytrabort4939]

You're kidding, right....just being nice.

[@vicestyle]

@@tonytrabort4939 what do you mean?

[@johnmaer]

@@vicestyle The offspring's drum work isn't as polished and fitting with the music as the percussion technique of so many of Ritenour's drummers he has had with him on stage over the last 35 years. Wes' main claim to musical notoriety is that he shares the first name of the Black octave chord innovator of the 50's who Lee was paying homage to in naming his son after......one Wes Montgomery. I'm not the only commentator about the disappointment in hearing Wes Jr. occupy the drum seat with Ritenour Sr. More to the point, the kid can grow and learn the trade over time, but he's taken the job away from a number of gifted drummers who've played with Lee. What this is often referred to is "nepotism". It runs fast and deep in Hollywood, the sports entertainment industry, etc. Offspring share a name and not much more, but dad bends over backwards to offer charity to the wannabe kid or kids. It's a pathetic part of our culture, but very ingrained. It is the opposite of a meritocracy.....bad values.
