One of the best live jazz/smooth jazz performances I'm aware of in the last 20-25 years.....a showcase for great guitar, drums, keys, bass and sax......just stellar work by each musician on this stage accompanying Lee. At first, I thought Beasley's solo was self-indulgent....but over time, it has overwhelmed me....the guy is incredible. Arguably, John's solo elevated Lee to knocking off that jazz solo after the keys interlude which demonstrated about every jazz nuance and riff in the book, and all the while, the backbeat and fills on the drums were impeccable. Melvin and Larry also brought their A-game. Just a Dynomite tune.

Many drummers feel they need to show off; Hillary refrained but her accent hits on the snare were so solid that it made up for the standard backbeat and then she let loose on the fills during the breaks/segues.....she is a very, very good percussionist. The performer who went a little crazy on this number was keyboardist Beasley....he just seemed to get caught up in his own playing....Ritenour must have been so pissed trying to break in multiple times but Beasley wasn't having any of it.....he wanted that solo to go on and on....

The rebuttal to the rebuke of Lee by Beasley continuing on is simple....the cat on the keys was absolutely groovin, in the pocket, and elevating the tune to a strong flavor of pure jazz abstract, complex chords, non-melodic yet non-dissonant phrasing throughout his solo, and changing pace at the same time...amazing stuff.

Funny, the tendency to pick out who we like, the same way it's often done in team sports, as if one person makes the team or band. It is a lot easier for one person to mess it up, but this band is a perfect example of a well oiled machine, in particular when it comes to groove music, or 'smooth jazz'. I was thinking the same, that Hillary sounds great, but she & bassist Melvin Lee are so deep into the pocket, like hand & glove, whether it's poppin, or whether they break it down. Of course Lee's guitar sound is clear & he's a master of clean tasteful playing in this style, as well as multi instrumentalist (former Seawind Horns man?), Larry Williams. John Beasley's touch is clean & improve tasteful & dancin'. Whole damn band is on point, killin this style in a good way. Ms. Hillary may be the baby of the bunch age wise, but she plays wise, & benefits from Lee Ritenour & the bandmates' experience having performed this way for decades.

Good point. Ritenour is so polished, almost to a fault. This is his musical comfort zone....he doesn't usually stray out of it, for good reason. Hillary embellished the percussion/time keeper role IMHO with a lot of added fills, but boy, is she every adult male's musical fantasy, no? This is a Ritenour regular track, so they all hammer it outta the park....I'm disappointed that he's taken on his son as a permanent drummer....he's had so many nice percussion - bass/drum combo players...why the nepotism?

Problem with him is that he went rogue like someone said below.....he went on this extended solo on the ivories and missed one signal after another from Ritenous, whose gig this was, and continued his narcissistic soloing while Lee was flailing away trying to signal an end to the keyboard excursion.....but to no avail. The guy on the sax and synth in back is also another well known LA session man who worked with Lee many times before....believe me, these folks are all accomplished and experience on the pro level.

Old standard of Ritenour, and yes, Hilary stole the tune/show, no question. I wish that someone (the artist, Y-T, uploader, publisher/Google, the publicist/agent of artist, etc.) would add links to the sites or info for the various performers either main-lining or supporting the main-liner so we could become "patrons" of same. Y-T does very little except provide the bandwidth for the uploaded content. Some entrepreneur needs to get creative and seize the opportunity...to make this experience so much more.....there is money to be made, public service to be served, etc. My basic query: What is Hilary doing musically these days and how would I find that out? Her visual presence on Y-T is relatively scare. Have a great day, boys and girls.
