Lee Ritenour Album Release at Blue Note Los Angeles

Lee Ritenour has been one of the defining electric guitarists in jazz for decades, and on Monday, November 9, 2026, he brings an album release night to Blue Note Los Angeles. If you are scanning for LA concerts that feel close and personal rather than arena-sized, a room like this is where a player of his caliber is best heard.

What to expect

Ritenour was born in Los Angeles in 1952, and the venue's own bio describes a career spent balancing individual creative vision with the give and take of a band. An album release night is a chance to hear new material played live by the person who wrote it, alongside the kind of fluid, melodic fretwork his fans know well. The setlist is not published, so treat any specifics as a pleasant surprise.

Blue Note's listing shows two sittings on the night, one at 7:00 PM (doors at 5:00 PM) and one at 9:30 PM (doors at 9:00 PM). Each sitting has its own ticket page, linked in the sources below.

When: Monday, November 9, 2026, 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM sittings Where: Blue Note Los Angeles, 6372 W Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028 Tickets: through TicketWeb or the Blue Note Los Angeles event page

Practical info

The venue lists a $20 minimum per person, with a full bar and dinner menu. Seating is first come, first served. Table seating is all ages, while the bar area is 21 and over, and the bar area becomes standing room only once the seats are full. Tickets are listed as no refunds or exchanges, so check your plans before buying. A ticket price was not published on the listing we checked, so confirm the current cost on the ticket page.

Arrive early if you want a table, since seating is not assigned. Dinner service makes the early doors time useful: you can eat, settle in and still catch the whole set.

Getting there

The club sits on Sunset Boulevard in the heart of Hollywood, so it is easy to pair with dinner nearby beforehand. If you are building a night out, it is one of the more rewarding things happening in Hollywood on a Monday, when most of the neighborhood is quieter.
