About this album

Feel The Night is a polished late-’70s fusion album that shows Lee Ritenour balancing jazz technique with crossover appeal. Issued in 1979, it finds the guitarist refining the smooth, rhythmic approach that made him one of the most visible figures in jazz-rock and studio fusion at the time. The title track and pieces such as “Market Place” and “French Roast” highlight his clean tone, melodic instinct and easy command of groove, while the album’s sleek production reflects the era’s move toward tighter, more radio-friendly jazz. It stands as an important early statement in Ritenour’s catalogue.
