After 15 years of guitarist Lee Ritenour primarily playing crossover music, this set of mostly straight-ahead jazz was a surprise. Ritenour always loved Wes Montgomery's playing and on many of these cuts, that influence dominates his sound and style. Assisted by tenor saxophonist Ernie Watts (who usually takes solo honors), pianist Alan Broadbent, bassist John Patitucci (sticking to acoustic) and drummer Harvey Mason, Ritenour performs such numbers as "Stolen Moments," "Haunted Heart," "Blue In Green" and "Sometime Ago," in addition to four originals (including "Waltz for Carmen"). Although not essential music, this is one of the rare Lee Ritenour rare sets that should interest straight-ahead jazz collectors. ~ Scott Yanow  http://www.allmusic.com/album/stolen-moments-mw0000204562

Personnel: Lee Ritenour (guitar, electric guitar); Mitch Holder (acoustic guitar); Ernie Watts (tenor saxophone); Alan Broadbent (piano); John Patitucci (Fender Rhodes piano, acoustic bass); Harvey Mason, Sr. (drums).
