Lee Ritenour & Mike Stern: Live at Blue Note Tokyo

About This Movie

So, 'Lee Ritenour & Mike Stern: Live at Blue Note Tokyo' is really a nice capture of two guitar legends doing their thing. The atmosphere in the club is electric, and you can feel the connection between the musicians and the audience. The pacing has a nice flow, with some slow, soulful moments contrasted by some fiery solos that really showcase their skills. It's not heavily produced, which gives it an authentic feel—like you’re right there in the room. The interplay between Ritenour and Stern is what makes it distinctive; they have this chemistry that’s hard to find. If you're into jazz fusion, this is a solid representation of that vibe.

This film was released as part of a limited run, making it a bit of a rarity in collector circles. It’s primarily available on DVD, but I’ve heard whispers of it showing up on streaming platforms occasionally. The scarcity of physical formats may drive interest among jazz aficionados who value live performances. Given the stature of both musicians, it’s likely to attract collectors who appreciate unique concert experiences.
