I've been treating my headaches with this music for almost 35 years! :-)

Absolutely SMASHING performance. One of my favorites from Lee Ritenour. Abraham Laboriel is a monster on the bass, too! Ernie Watts is a powerhouse on the sax.

43:03-46:54 Probably Ernie's greatest solo ever. He must have been surprised himself, aften having played such a great solo. Wow, that was fantastic.

I was there! That night was just magical. The first time I heard Gary play. And I was completely floored when he came back in 1993 with Chick and the second Elektric Band. Love his playing.

I agree! A great drummer. For me in top ten best drummers. I have seen lists of most famous drummers, best drummers etc, but the most important list for me is the drummers I like. Vinnie, Dave W, Steve G, Carlos V. Gary Novak is 💯% in my list!

Musicians are smiling while they are playing...THAT S THE PURE SPIRIT OF MUSIC !!!!

Indeed. I don't recall him playing acoustic bass before, in fact I don't recall anyone but him using that err... 4-string guitar, and masterfully so.

RIP Dave Valentin...... thanks for the memories

Everytime I watch this, about 50 times ? I think this is one of the best performances ever.

This is awesome what a lineup what professionalism what arranging don't get no better than these guys

Flawless perfection by all. This is what happens when you have a selfless musician of Rit's caliber who is also a such a nice guy that he tells people he would be honored if they would share the stage with him on his tour. He has always attracted the best in the business.

And here we are 3 decades later and he still has the magic touch, even better. despite his age (and expansive girth 😁). Laboriel is THE pioneer of funk and slap. It's not me who says it's Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten, and of course I agree with them. They should know.

LEE RITENOUR WITH SPECIAL GUESTS EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE FOR EVER !!

Just by watching this version of Rio Funk we can already tell that Ritenour had already begun to shift towards a more funky sound. Up til then he was all jazz but now he's almost a rock figure. Fusion encompasses a really wide array of genres.

Great old GRP-times! Remember being in the record-shop and buying many of these records. CD's? Anybody here who knows what I mean? 😂 I still have mine. Lee, Larry Carlton, Tom Scott, Eric Marienthal, David Benoit, Chick Corea, Robben Ford and others, just to mention some GRP-stuff. 😉

No matter how many times I listen to mid-late 80's spanning through early 90's jazz I always come back to this concert for my nightcap. Still one of the best I've ever seen you KZread.

What is it exactly about Ernie Watts ? There are and have been so many great saxophonists .. but Ernie just hits a certain spot ... his tone ; his phrasing ; his way of building a solo ; the way he blends his phenomenal technical skill with the most gorgeous sense of melody ; the way he navigates changes ... & then there is something else that I cant define ... there is a feeling when he plays .... I just love Ernie !

Agreed. And an absolute gentleman too. When he cams to Dublin Ireland a couple of years ago the show went on about 40 minute over schedule. The band, Ernie and the audience were just loving it. After the show he just hung out and was so down to earth and friendly. When my son told him he was a sax player he was just so full of encouragement. In at least 40 years attending shows this was at the top for me.

Actually this whole lineup RULES!!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!!!

In the past, I made some comments about Gary Novak (drums) being less than average for a Lee Ritenour band. I stand corrected. After watching the entire concert and a few other videos, Gary lives up to his reputation. Dude has chops, he just picks his spots and let it go, love it. And Abe...forget it man. He is simply insane...a drummers dream...always in the pocket.

Nice to hear Lee playing some Straight-Ahead, for a change. Ernie Watts freaking burnin on 'Uptown'. He's got a great tone. Straight up in Coltrane Land around the 44 minute marker, w/ Novak swinging hard behind him. Now on second thought I must also say this - The late great Michael Brecker must have listened to Watts quite a bit too!

😂 I can't tell you how many times I hit the like 👍 button only to discover I'd already done so. I have watched this performance at least twenty times. Lee Ritenour really comes "out of his shell" at this point in his career. Previously, he was purely a Jazz artist but evolves into an all around phenomenon. Ritenour's live performances are truly a highlight of any jazz enthusiast's playlist. Bravo gentlemen. 👏 👏 👏 A spectacular performance by all involved.

love love love this music. nunca he visto un mùsico que se disfrute màs sus presentaciones que Abraham laboriel. y he tenido la dicha de verlo en persona en PR varias veces.
