5.5 / 10 · TMDB

Lee Ritenour is one of the world's most renowned jazz guitarists. Initially performing and recording as a sideman with the likes of The Mamas And The Papas, Tony Bennett, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd and Dizzy Gillespie, since 1976 he has been a major solo artist with over 30 albums to his credit. Overtime was filmed in high definition in Enterprise Studios, Burbank in front of a small audience and is a career retrospective of this extraordinary guitarist in which he is accompanied by some of his many collaborators down the years. The concert is split into four distinct sections. The program starts with acoustic jazz and then moves into Brazilian music, followed by Lee's early fusion music and concludes with a set of his most popular tracks from more recent albums. Interviews with the participants are interspersed between the live performances.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a career retrospective not through narration, but through a meticulously curated setlist, with each musical segment representing a distinct era in Ritenour's evolution. It relies on the intimacy of the studio setting, framing the performance as an exclusive session shared with a fortunate few.

What lingers after viewing is the polished, soulful craftsmanship of a guitarist for whom melody and technical mastery are inseparable. The experience feels less like watching a concert and more like attending a personal masterclass in musical longevity. — MovieFinder Editorial
