1	Fourplay (1991) more music like this by Fourplay add to wishlist This CD was the debut for Fourplay, a popular quartet comprised of keyboardist Bob James, guitarist Lee Ritenour, bassist Nathan East, and drummer Harvey Mason. The music sounds more or less like a Bob James small-group date with Ritenour as a major soloist. The style is between jazz, R&B, and pop with an emphasis on lightweight originals, soulful ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.45!
2	Between the Sheets (1993) more music like this by Fourplay add to wishlist It is not too surprising that Fourplay started out fairly popular, for the group, in addition to bassist Nathan East and drummer Harvey Mason, teams together keyboardist Bob James and guitarist Lee Ritenour. Their playing on this Warner Bros. release results in easy listening crossover with touches of jazz heard in the melodic solos, along with ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.44!
3	Wes Bound (1992) more music like this by Lee Ritenour add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.00!
4	Larry & Lee (1995) more music like this by Lee Ritenour & Larry Carlton add to wishlist Larry Carlton and Lee Ritenour have had parallel careers, but this CD is their first joint meeting on record. The two guitarists complement each other well and there are hints of Wes Montgomery along with a tribute to Joe Pass ("Remembering J.P."), but the songs (all of them their originals) are little more than rhythmic grooves most of the time ... see all copies from $2.48! new only from $9.44!
5	Collection (1991) more music like this by Lee Ritenour add to wishlist GRP's generally well-chosen 1991 Collection covers an entire decade of Lee Ritenour releases from Elektra and GRP. As such, those years seem to form a late-'70s plateau descending into a commercial valley by the early part of the '80s and then gradually ascending a slope as Rit's playing grows and deepens in the decade's final years. Some of the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.23!
6	Harlequin (1985) more music like this by Dave Grusin with Lee Ritenour add to wishlist Ivan Lins and Ritenour almost save the day. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.51!
7	Happy Anniversary, Charlie Brown! (1987) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The 40th anniversary of the Charlie Brown comic strip is celebrated on this 1987 CD by performances of songs used on the cartoon series (most of which were originally composed by Vince Guaraldi). A variety of artists participated in the project including David Benoit, B.B. King (singing "Joe Cool"), Dave Grusin, Chick Corea ("The Great Pumpkin ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.09!
8	Elixir (1994) more music like this by Fourplay add to wishlist The third outing from Fourplay (Lee Ritenour, Nathan East, Bob James, and Harvey Mason clubbing together) is another lightly sautéed jazz offering, low-key and relaxed. Vocals this time are contributed by Phil Collins, East, Patti Austin, and Peabo Bryson (the latter two on an undistinguished version of "The Closer I Get to You"), but the main ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.10!
9	The Best of Fourplay (1997) more music like this by Fourplay add to wishlist What looked at first like a premature marketing ploy -- a greatest-hits collection after only three albums? -- now makes some historical sense, for founding member Lee Ritenour left the quartet not long after the CD's release. So this is in essence a summary of Fourplay's first edition, a collection of mildly funky, ethereally voiced selections ... see all copies from $2.23! new only from $6.50!
10	Rit's House (2002) more music like this by Lee Ritenour add to wishlist Creatively, Lee Ritenour has had his ups and downs over the years. Many of the guitarist's commercial pop-jazz efforts have wasted his skills as an improviser; when Ritenour is catering to NAC/smooth jazz radio, improvisation is the usually the first thing to go. But when Ritenour does have a chance to stretch out, he can be an appealing ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $17.28!
11	The Very Best of Lee Ritenour (2003) more music like this by Lee Ritenour add to wishlist Smooth jazz guitarist Lee Ritenour gets the "best-of" treatment on this GRP compilation. While longtime fans will most likely already have these tracks, curious listeners may find it a nice place to start. Featuring a cross section of tracks Ritenour recorded during the '90s and early '00s, including "A Little Bumpin'," "Harlequin," and "Wes Bound ... see all copies from $5.70! new only from $8.16!
12	Two Worlds (2000) more music like this by Dave Grusin & Lee Ritenour add to wishlist Forging a unique creative relationship, Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin's mutual professional history extends back some two decades. Ritenour was a core artist on Grusin's label, GRP, throughout the 1980s and early '90s; in 1986, they first collaborated on the Grammy Award winning Harlequin, a critically-acclaimed, Brazilian-themed recording. ... see all copies from $16.35! new only from $16.35!
13	Smoke 'N' Mirrors (2006) more music like this by Lee Ritenour add to wishlist Featuring a bevy of world music guests, guitarist Lee Ritenour's Smoke 'N' Mirrors is a stylish, joyous, and laid-back multicultural affair. Among the guests are Brazilian vocalist and keyboardist Daniel Jobim, South African vocalist Zamajobe and guitarist Erik Pilani Paliani, West African bassist Richard Bona, as well as such well-known ... see all copies from $4.31! new only from $7.50!
14	A GRP Christmas Collection (1988) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Most of the notables on GRP's roster in 1988 participated in this pleasing Christmas CD. There is one selection apiece from guitarist Daryl Stuermer, Tom Scott, David Benoit, Diane Schuur, Dave Valentin, Lee Ritenour, Gary Burton, Yutaka, Chick Corea's Elektric Band ("God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"), Szakcsi, Eddie Daniels, Mark Egan, Special EFX, ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $3.00!
15	World of Brazil (2005) more music like this by Lee Ritenour add to wishlist see all copies from $6.59! new only from $6.59!
16	Smooth Jazz: The Originals, Vol. 1 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Smooth Jazz: The Originals, Vol. 1 gathers smooth jazz tracks from the genre's pioneers, including Special EFX, Larry Carlton, Joe Sample, and Tom Grant. Acoustic Alchemy's "Mr. Chow," Lee Ritenour's "Night Rhythms," Dave Grusin's "Mountain Dance," and David Benoit's "Linus and Lucy" are among the mellow instrumentals featured on this worthwhile ... see all copies from $8.16! new only from $8.16!
17	Overtime (2005) more music like this by Lee Ritenour add to wishlist Overtime is really two CDs in one. On the instrumentals, particularly "Bass City" and "Blue in Green," guitarist Lee Ritenour sounds a lot like Wes Montgomery and he leads his group (which features either Ernie Watts or Eric Marienthal on tenor) through some relatively straight-ahead numbers filled with soulful and creative playing. The five vocal ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.00!
18	Rio/On the Line (2005) more music like this by Lee Ritenour add to wishlist see all copies from $11.79! new only from $11.79!
19	The Very Best of Smooth Jazz [Shanachie] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Very Best of Smooth Jazz collects 12 laid-back tracks taken from the Shanachie label with decent, if not outstanding, tracks from Lee Ritenour, Ronny Jordan and Larry Carlton, alongside Acoustic Alchemy ("Playing for Time"), Larry Coryell, ("Feel Like Making Love") and Chuck Loeb ("The Music Inside"). ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.99! new only from $12.99!
20	Magical Duos (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99!
21	First Course (1976) more music like this by Lee Ritenour add to wishlist In the first flush of a blossoming career as a first-call studio guitarist, Ritenour set out to become a solo artist as well in this artifact of the early L.A. jazz/funk sound. He rounded up some of his pals from the Baked Potato club in Studio City -- including the archetypical funk drummer Harvey Mason, keyboardists Dave Grusin and Patrice ... see all copies from $6.48! new only from $62.21!
22	A Twist of Jobim (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The debut release from the I.E. label (which is connected with Polygram) is an unusual multi-artist tribute to the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim. Some of his tunes are made funky (but in a melodic and tasteful way), while others become quiet (but still passionate) ballads. The treatments are all jazz-oriented, and there is plenty of solo space for ... see all copies from $12.45! new only from $12.45!
23	Contemporary Jazz Masters: Sampler, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Big-hit items from past CTI albums, designed to get the casual buyer interested in the series. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
24	This Is Love (1998) more music like this by Lee Ritenour add to wishlist Lee Ritenour's first solo album for his new i.e. music label is a good one, one of his best actually, whether staying in the strict jazz-lite format that marks a lot of his previous work or straying into the other idioms that pop up here. Whether emulating Wes Montgomery's octaves or curling around in single-string fashion, Ritenour's playing is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.99!
25	Captain Fingers (1977) more music like this by Lee Ritenour add to wishlist A great player shows how easily he can handle trite pop. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.75! new only from $4.75!
