Feel The Night – Lee Ritenour – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 21days)

“Feel The Night” captures Lee Ritenour at a pivotal moment in his journey as one of jazz’s most versatile guitarists. Released in 1979, this album finds Ritenour blending the sophistication of jazz with the sun-drenched grooves of late-‘70s West Coast fusion, making each track a testament to his technical finesse and melodic instinct. Standout moments include the breezy interplay of rhythm and melody in ‘Market Place’ and the infectious, soulful textures of ‘Feel the Night,’ giving the record a sense of effortless cool. What sets this album apart is Ritenour’s ability to create immersive soundscapes—his guitar never dominates, but instead converses with the lush arrangements and top-shelf session players. For vinyl collectors, “Feel The Night” is more than a showcase of guitar virtuosity; it’s a snapshot of jazz fusion’s golden era, brimming with warmth and detail that digital formats can’t quite replicate. This is a record for late evenings and quiet reflection, inviting listeners into a world where jazz feels both intimate and expansive. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Ritenour’s catalog, this album is a rewarding addition to any serious jazz collection.
