If only the instruments did all the talking...

The musicianship here is first-class; as you would expect from Lee Ritenour, all the players and singers are awesome. It's a thrill to see musicians this good. The general vibe of this concert is casual; it was filmed in a large recording studio with a small audience. It's like a small club, and Lee has invited all his best musician friends from past and present to come and jam. Lee's playing is great, although he doesn't tear it up like crazy (unlike the Larry Carlton in Paris DVD); this is more mellow and jazzy-very tasteful. There is a great variety of styles here, as this concert represents songs from his whole recording career-all very enjoyable.
My only gripe? Between songs there are lengthy interviews with Lee and the other musicians telling us what they're doing. I don't need to be taught the meaning of improvisation-over and over. It's pretty irritating to stop after every song and listen to them. Why didn't they make it a special feature you could choose to listen to (or not)? Maybe I missed something, but I couldn't turn it off and just enjoy the concert in sequence. It's a great DVD otherwise. |
