For the Grammy Award winning guitarist Lee Ritenour, there aren’t many ‘firsts’ left to achieve. During his dazzling five-decade career, the fabled Los Angeles guitarist has taken his music to the outer limits, alighting on every genre and occupying every position in the rock ‘n’ roll firmament. He’s been an enfant terrible of ’70s fusion, a crossover star of the ’80s pop chart, an honorary exponent of Brazilian Jazz, and the fingers behind ’90s supergroup, Fourplay. Among other Ritenour accolades: 45 albums, 16 Grammy nominations, alumnus of the year at USC, Los Angeles’ Jazz Society honoree (2019), plus thousands of sessions with legends such as Frank Sinatra, Pink Floyd, B.B. King, Tony Bennett, among others.
