Earth Run
Lee Ritenour
Acoustic textures and synthesizers meet on this record. It marks a moment where jazz fusion adopted a high-tech sheen. The focus shifted toward melodic compositions and atmospheric sound rather than the frantic playing style of the seventies.
Digital techniques define the sound, giving the tracks a clean and expansive quality. It captures an intersection between sophisticated session playing and the era's fascination with studio technology. The polish is specific to the 1986 period.
