Lee Ritenour 'Povo' | Live Studio Session

When guitar legend Lee Ritenour came into the KNKX/Jazz24 studios on an unseasonably cool August afternoon, he arrived with a rhythm section hot enough to raise Seattle's temperature a few degrees: drummer, Will Kennedy, and bassist, Melvin Davis. Together, they laid down three delightful tracks; Water's Edge, L.P.-For Les Paul, and Freddie Hubbard's composition, Povo.

Three professional musicians HAVING a BLAST !! I love it.

[@cbusman99]

Lee is certainly a legend and one of my favorites. I must also say that Melvin Davis is one bad dude on bass. I really like Lee and Melvin together.

Great performance! That was a boss tune written by Freddie!

[@fractalbeliever]

God bless him for making it through it all! He's definitely paid some dues!

Hace muchos años yo leía la revista Guitar Player, en esa revista, Tommy Tedesco comentó que Lee y Él estaban en el estudio durante una sesión. Los dos leyendo música que nunca habían tocado antes. Tommy le señaló a Lee, " Vas a fallar aquí"......y así fue........Lee se admiraba....LOL
