It’s hard to believe that 2010 marks 50 years since Lee Ritenour starting playing the guitar, setting in motion a career that legends are made of.   A career that has earned him 19 GRAMMY® nominations, a GRAMMY Award, numerous #1 spots on guitar polls, A Lifetime Achievement Award from the Canadian SJ Awards, and the prestigious “Alumnus of the Year” award from USC.  During his illustrious career, he has recorded over 40 albums, with 35 chart songs and was a founding member of the group Fourplay, considered the most successful group in contemporary jazz.

As a young guitarist his diverse musical style became the foundation of over 3,000 sessions, covering a broad spectrum of artists ranging from his first session at 16 with the Mamas and Papas, to Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Simon & Garfunkel and Frank Sinatra. On his latest endeavor, 6 String Theory, Ritenour celebrates the instrument that has allowed him this blessing, the guitar; — by producing and assembling a star-studded tribute with the greatest and soon- to- be greatest guitarists of our time.

Liturgy is a transcendental black metal  band from Brooklyn, NY.  Liturgy’s music is an ecstatic affirmation of  becoming and an assault on the floating malaise of contemporary  information-age life.  The ebb and flow of their churning, swarming  rhythms and melodies both models and fosters the eternal flux.

They draw influence from, and  comparison to, products from many ages and disciplines – the solemn 11th  century chants of Perotin, the allegorical prophecies of Blake, the  apocalyptic vision of Scriabin, the mass-media spirituality of  Jodorowsky, the cataclysmic transcendence of Glenn Branca’s  post-minimalist collective no-wave drones.
