Join Terry Wollman in this enlightening interview with Lee Ritenour!

Lee Ritenour is an American guitarist whose career has spanned across genres. He has been a prominent figure in music since the late 1960s, after being inspired by legends such as Wes Montgomery as a young musician. Ritenour studied classical guitar at the University of Southern California. Throughout his extensive career, Ritenour has collaborated with Barbra Streisand, Pink Floyd, Carole King, B.B.

For Lee, there aren't many 'firsts' left to achieve. During his dazzling five-decade career, this LA born guitarist has taken his music through every genre... from rock, jazz, pop and pretty much
everything in between. Ritenour's accolades include: 45 albums, 16 Grammy nominations, Alumnus of the year at USC, Los Angeles' Jazz Society Honoree (2019), plus thousands of sessions with legends such as Frank Sinatra, Pink Floyd, B.B.
