About this album

Rit/2 finds Lee Ritenour refining the bright, melodic jazz-fusion sound that made him one of the genre’s most accessible electric guitarists. Released in 1982, the album blends jazz, rock and pop sensibilities into a polished set built on fluid playing, crisp rhythms and strong hooks. Known for its crossover feel, it sits comfortably alongside the early-1980s wave of fusion that aimed beyond jazz audiences without losing instrumental finesse. Ritenour’s guitar leads the record with precision and warmth, giving the music both technical sparkle and easy momentum, while maintaining the smooth, radio-friendly edge that defined much of his best-known work.
