Wesbound was written by Lee Ritenour as a tribute to the late, great guitarist Wes Montgomery. Lee is joined in this video by the very versatile Patrice Rushen playing keyboards and Terry Crews delivering a driving bass.
Ritenour’s guitar stylings are usually considered to be acid or club jazz, which for the uninitiated is a musical genre that combines elements of jazz, soul, funk, and even a smattering of disco. While it is a bit of a departure from our emphasis on more traditional, straight ahead jazz, I think you’re gonna like what you hear. Listen for an ear-popping solo by Patrice!
