Lee's Best Era
Robert Robinson | Canberra, ACT AUSTRALIA | 05/07/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This LP along with Captain Fingers, and The Captain's Journey show Lee when he was really 'going for it'. It was incredible to see him do this stuff live with Don Grusin in 1981 backed by Crossfire. Hey, I understand a guy's gotta eat and art for art's sake can't always feed you, but the Smooth Jazz stuff with Grusin/Fourplay/Larry Carlton/GRP is boring elevator music where all that naughty spontaneity/creativity/risk taking has been sanitised out to protect the chicken :-) Just the ticket when you're mowing the lawn maybe and want some 'background music'. If you've only heard Rit after the early 80s do yourself a favour and do some research."
Lee's best solo album and a showcase for drummer Steve Gadd!

"This is clearly Lee's best electric guitar solo album. Even though not all songs are splendid, the first two are a sizzling start of this album. This is also mainly due to the AMAZING DRUMMING of Steve Gadd. He has played on so many recordings of so many artists, but this is his finest hour. So if you are a drumming enthousiast, check this album out!"
A must for any Rit fan-True fire on the frets

"This album in my mind is the pure Lee. This was before the big time. When you do listen to this just be sure that you are sitting down because it is intense. The speed off Lee and purity of these recordings are incredible. If you have not heard this and call yourself a fan you are truely missing out on the unaldultered Lee. AMAZING"
