About this album

The Captain's Journey is a polished jazz-rock statement that helped establish Lee Ritenour as one of the most refined guitar voices of the fusion era. Released in 1978, the album blends melodic writing, tight ensemble interplay and the sleek production values associated with late-1970s West Coast jazz-rock. Ritenour’s guitar tone is clear and conversational throughout, moving between nimble fusion passages and more lyrical, song-like ideas. Built for listeners who value musicianship as much as groove, the record shows why Ritenour became an important figure in contemporary jazz guitar at the close of the 1970s.
