Feel The Night - Lee Ritenour - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

“Feel The Night” captures Lee Ritenour at a pivotal moment, when jazz guitar was slipping effortlessly into the sleek world of late‑70s studio craft. This isn’t just a display of chops; it’s a carefully lit nightscape where every part—guitar, Rhodes, bass, and laid‑back drums—locks into a quietly luxurious groove. Ritenour’s tone is warm and precise, but never clinical. He glides between lyrical melodies and nimble runs, always serving the song rather than flexing for the spotlight. You can hear the session‑player discipline in the way he leaves space, letting the rhythm section breathe and the arrangements unfold with an easy, unhurried confidence. For collectors, this album is a snapshot of West Coast jazz‑fusion just before the 80s gloss fully took over: sophisticated, melodic, and deeply listenable. It’s the kind of record that works as both focused listening and an after‑hours soundtrack, revealing new details with each spin—the way a chord voicing hangs in the air, or how a subtle percussion line nudges the groove forward. If your shelves lean toward polished jazz, fusion, or soulful instrumentals, “Feel The Night” earns its place as a go‑to evening record that never wears out its welcome.
