Lee Ritenour has revealed all about what went down in an after hours session at Kunden Studios in Burbank, California, as disaster struck George Benson’s guitar solo on Give Me The Night, the title track of his 1980 hit album, and how one jazz guitar maestro jumped in save another’s work – and was sworn to secrecy in the process.
Speaking to Mason Marangella, owner and CEO of Vertex Effects, for the Californian guitar effects pedal brand’s YouTube channel, Ritenour remembers receiving a call from producer Quincy Jones at a time of night that could only mean one thing to anyone working in the session game. Something had gone wrong. Something big. This was a call for help.
