El Debarge delivers the lyrics  in his melodic, trademark style, setting the stage for the silky-smooth soprano   saxaphone of the late <i>Art Porter<\/i>. To quote the liner notes, it was   &#8220;<i>Art&#8217;s last recording; and his ability to capture the longing and desire of   the lyrics stand as a testament to his talent and sensitivity to the moment<\/i>&#8220;.  We agree 100%.    <\/p>\n<p>  While reviewing this album, we played it from beginning to end each  time. When it came time to write this article, the original pick was &#8216;Dindi&#8217;  both because of it&#8217;s beauty and the participation of Art Porter. When we played   &#8216;Dindi&#8217; while writing the article, we played it alone and immediately   realized that something was missing&#8230;the next song on the album.    <\/p>\n<p>  Immediately following &#8216;Dindi&#8217; is a rendition of <i>Waters of March<\/i>  featuring Oleta Adams and Al Jarreau on vocals. Dave Grusin, Eric Marienthal, John Beasley,  Harvey Mason and Cassio Duarte help Lee Ritenour give this melodic masterpiece  a new &#8216;twist&#8217;.     <\/p>\n<p>  We don&#8217;t have an <i>honorable mention<\/i> category, so this month&#8217;s hot single is   being shared. Listen and decide for yourself..either way you can&#8217;t lose.    <\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><center>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/btn_jazz.gif\" width=\"88\" height=\"31\"\/><\/center>  <cfinclude template=\"_footer.inc\"><cfinclude template=\"forceframe.inc\"><?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/cfinclude><\/cfinclude><\/center><\/cfinclude><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot Single &#8211; Lee Ritenour &#8211; Dindi July 1997 Hot<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4636"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4636\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
