This was a great concert performed by great musicians. I had never seen Mike Stern or Sonny Emory before. They were incredible, particularly Sonny the percusionist. I recognized Melvin Davis, the bass player, probably from Chaka Khan concerts.
Lee has surrounded himself with an excellent group and his performances are always stellar! He mixed both the octaving style he adopted since the Wes Bound recording, and a harder rock fusion on many of the songs.
I highly recommned this concert!

Lee Ritenour was superb. A true professional at his craft and his accompanying musicians were equally fantastic they included drummer Sonny Emory, bassist Melvin Lee David and Keyboards Jesse Milliner.

Sadly the management at BB Kings was not as wonderful. My wife and I showed up at the show 1.5 hours in advance to get the best seat possible. We were seated in the middle of a crowded table, which was fine and to be expected. We removed our jackets and placed them around our chairs and went up to the bar to have a few cocktails. Forty minutes later my wife noticed one of the managers removed her jacket and was seating another couple in our seats. So I talked to the manager and he said you can’t have drinks at the bar, you must be seated in your seats. So basically you move your feet you lose your seat. Then he handed me back only her jacket, he disappeared for a few minutes and I went back to the table where we were originally seated to look for my jacket and the patrons sitting there said the manager removed the jackets, even though they told him we were sitting there. Finally he shows up with my jacket, overall no harm no foul but what a hassle!
Overall Lee Ritenour’s music was able to overcome the lack of courtesy exhibited by BB King’s management.

His back up team , Keyboard, Basist , Drums were great. Timing the best, and his selection of sets great. Unforunitely i took ill after the 4 number so i only caught half of the show, but i would definietly see him again.
Thx to the crew at BB's for helping me out diuring my mini crisis. Feel alot better today.
Great place to see a show, and the price is always right.

Great gig, great formation.
All the members were astounding ... anyway the bass player enjoyed playing with his voice and the bass and that is really the added value of a live gig.

Lee Ritenour, Jesse Millener, Melvin Davis, and Sonny Emery are some of the best musicians on their instruments, and it showed. These guys have one of the best intuitive feels for each other that I have ever seen. Having been a jazz fan for many years, I can truely say that this concert was one of my favorites!

I have always looked upon Lee Ritenour as being one of the guitar greats of all time. So when I had a chance to see again, I wasted no time in getting tickets. Last time I saw him was 25 years ago and to be honest I wish I didn't break the streak. The show was not a sell-out, BB's was half filled with a majority of the audience being guys his age & older. His performance lacked passion, it appeared that he had his own agenda and truly did not play to the audience. The show lasted about 80 minutes where he played 8-10 songs, he spent most of that time either playing or promoting songs from his boring new album or trying to sell CDs.

The biggest insult of all was his encore version of Bob Marley's Get Up, Stand Up. That was time for me to Get Up and Get Out. Not only was it a piss poor choice, I'm sure a Bob Marley tribute band could have put on a better performance.

Lee Ritenour stop trying to rock out. Get back to the smooth grooves that once define what you were all about...before you loose what's left of your fan base.

Lee Ritenour is one talented and humble soul. He was engaging, cracked jokes and his love for his craft showed. What I liked most about this concert aside from the obvious talent is that Ritenour repeatedly highlighted the other members in the band and had no problem in letting them show us what they were working with. The chemistry between Ritenour, Sonny Emory, Melvin Davis and the pianist was obvious, they flowed like a family that truly loves each other and respects the talent that each of them possesses. They had fun doing what they do and that made the concert even better. What an experience!!

Briefly..Would highly recommend to music lovers of all kinds.
World class musicians giving it their all.
Took my 16 year old son, and he was glad " I made him go ".
Lee has a very likeable stage presence.
He is such a talented guitar player, yet allows the
band members to show off.
