Lee Ritenour – Portrait

A polished late-80s GRP production, Portrait captures Lee Ritenour at the height of his smooth jazz and contemporary fusion phase. Digitally mastered and immaculately produced, this album blends refined session musicianship with radio-friendly sophistication. Ritenour is joined by a strong supporting cast including Djavan, Kenny G, The Yellowjackets, Eric Tagg and Phil Perry, giving the album both jazz credibility and crossover appeal.

The sound is clean, spacious and melodic — very much in the GRP tradition of high-end digital production. Tracks like “Turn The Heat Up” and “Children’s Games” lean toward accessible fusion, while “Shades In The Shade” and “Runaway” highlight Ritenour’s tasteful phrasing and tonal control. This is a strong example of late-80s jazz-fusion aimed at both audiophiles and smooth jazz collectors.
