"Lee Ritenour, a superior studio guitarist, has recorded very few jazz albums throughout his career, preferring to play melodic pop and light funk. On the rare occasions when he has had an urge to perform jazz, Ritenour has been more than happy to show off the influence of Wes Montgomery; therefore, this tribute is a logical move... Ritenour mostly plays pieces from the later (and more commercial) half of Montgomery's career, along with four of his own originals that are sort of in the tradition. He also hedges his bet a little by throwing in a Bob Marley reggae tune. For jazz listeners who wish to sample some Lee Ritenour, this is one of his better recordings..." - Scott Yanow Lee Ritenour, guitar, electronic percussion Bob James, piano, keyboards Melvin Davis, bass Harvey Mason, drums, percussion Dave Witham, B-3 organ Ronnie Foster, B-3 organ Gary Novak, drums Steve Gadd, drums Cassio Duarte, percussion Aaron Smith, rhythm track Phil Perry, background vocals Kate Markowitz, background vocals Carmen Twillie, background vocals Maxi Priest, vocal Alan Broadbent, piano John Beasley, keyboards John Patitucci, bass, acoustic bass
