As a kid I loved listening to Lee Ritenour. I used to have a couple of radio programs in Australia (I was barely 18) and the technical people at the Radio Station used to tell me that his music was overproduced, and that they preferred people who could reproduce their music live just as it was in a recording.

Obviously they had not seen these guys live.

Was it overproduced? Perhaps, but as far as I can rememeber, the same songs sound almost as good as they play in front of a huge audience (and probably better as they are a bit more relaxed).

Here he is with the great composer Dave Grusin at the 20th Festival de Jazz de San Javier in Murcia, Spain in
July, 2017

Setlist:
The Village
Stone Flowers
Chovendo Na Roseria
Wes Bound
4 on 6
Ohla Maria
A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
Wild Rice
Rio Funk

Lee Ritenour (guitar)
Dave Grusin (piano & kbd)
Tom Kennedy (bass)
Wes Ritenour (drums)

Enjoy!

Until next time!

Perfect Sunday Concert…

Talented muscians, old and new tunes, live, acoustic…. just a gem.

This is the CHICK COREA AKOUSTIC BAND playing on July 28, 2018 at JAZZ SAN JAVIER 2018.

Returning afyer nineteen years, Jazz San Javier was very pleased to present the return of Chick Corea. With a most brilliant career which began in 1966 as leader of his own projects, with 20 Grammy Awards to his name, and 51 Grammy nominations, Chick Corea is one of the top piano players of his generation, alongside Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett. An innovator with his electric projects like “Return To Forever” and the “Elektric Band”, he also shows his best facet as brilliant pianist through his acoustic projects, the brightest of which is the Akoustic Band, a meeting which is perceived as the jazz event of the year, with two other jazz greats, John Patitucci and Dave Weckl.

LINEUP

Chick Corea (piano)
John Patitucci (bass)
Dave Weckl (drums)

Enjoy!

Until next time!
