What the critics say…

Spiffy, artistically challenging, Lee's Guitarisma is undeniable, and as a producer, he shows how to use vocals on instrumental albums…. Jazziz, Jon Widran

Lee's Fleet fingerwork Dazzles…. Jazztimes

If you are in the mood for some engaging contemporary jazz Jack Lee's 'Into The Night' is highly recommended. Drawing from Brazilian, R&B and Jazz influences, guitarist Lee presents a smooth collection of refreshing original compositions featuring his rich playing on acoustic and electric guitars. Jack is also joined by friends Bob James, Toninho Horta, Mark Ledford, Hillary James and Rachel Z who add their solid talents to the recording. The ensemble effectively creates complete contemporary musical scapes with each tune. Jack's playing on acoustic guitar is particularly impressive. Fans of The Rippingtons, Toninho Horta, and Pat Metheny will enjoy this collection.
