Lee Mack "Captain Fingers" Ritenour is an American Jazz smooth guitarist, who has charted over 30 instrumental and vocal contemporary jazz hits. On the instrumental part of this CD, particularly "Bass City" and "Blue in Green," he sounds a lot like Wes Montgomery and he leads his group through some relatively straight-ahead numbers filled with soulful and creative playing. The five vocal numbers are much more in the R&B/smooth vein and occasionally feature the presence of Ivan Lins. Overall, this is another good smooth jazz offering by Ritemour, who specializes in bringing a diverse spectrum of "friends" on his recordings to keep his music fresh and alive.
