Featuring a bevy of world music guests, guitarist Lee Ritenour's Smoke 'N' Mirrors is a stylish, joyous, and laid-back multicultural affair. Among the guests are Brazilian vocalist and keyboardist Daniel Jobim, South African vocalist Zamajobe and guitarist Erik Pilani Paliani, West African bassist Richard Bona, as well as such well-known contemporary jazz icons as pianist Dave Grusin, bassist John Patitucci, percussionist Sheila E., and others. Judiciously, Ritenour has made room for a wide musical palette including funky jams, melodic soul vocal tracks, inspired rhythmic passages, and of course straight-ahead jazz improvisation. While this is an impeccably crafted effort in the tradition of past Ritenour albums, it never comes off as anything less than organically heartfelt. ~ Matt CollarJazzTimes (p.93) - "The result is a high-energy, satisfying work that only adds to Captain Fingers' reputation as a master of contemporary jazz rhythms and melodies."

Russ Arlotta has been under the songwriter’s unpredictable spell since the early 1970's (writing his first song at 15). He has tried to remain true and honest to that muse whenever she calls and to listen to what she has to say: “Songs serve many purposes... They may comfort or confront... challenge or motivate... or simply make for a gratifying, pleasant diversion... Certain songs can even help in healing those injured in heart or mind... And every now and again there comes along a song that holds within it, a key... or perhaps a rope ladder... something which may open an unexpected door, ... or lift us above the walls we build for ourselves - to glimpse something bigger... something beautiful... something profound... ”Russ is the youngest of four siblings. He attended high school and college in the seventies, received his B.A. in English; a J.D. in law followed. He has been a practicing attorney by day and songwriter/musician by night for some time... He and wife, Joanie, have three grown or nearly grown children, who now find themselves standing at the threshold of their journeys, eyes open to the beauty of it all... **********“It has been really gratifying to hear from listeners that the songs from “The Road We Travel” resonate for them on a meaningful level. The common thread that binds this collection of tunes, I would say, are the lyrics that reach out in an effort to touch basic truths we count on for meaning in this world; love… kindness… honesty... joy... compassion,…courage... those key ingredients that nurture spirit and soul on this road we travel...The title song, “The Road We Travel,” is an allegorical (if conversational) tribute to those through time who have lifted up our humble human race... the ones who have helped to raise the bar of our humanity, with the chorus refrain being a wish to the heavens; “For those who guide us to that better day, may the stars protect you on your way. For those given sight, beyond common light, be our north star at night...” “Such a Time as This,” was written as a metaphorical prayer/plea in the fall of 2002 for a brighter and better day when it seemed startling and yet inexorable that a small handful in power would pull our country into an unpremeditated, unprovoked war. There was a sad and surreal ...
