  Just came across this very interesting video – that jazz great Lee Ritenour played a part in the recording of Pink Floyd’s album The Wall.
  
  As Lee Ritenour stated, when you think of a band like Pink Floyd, you think of a virtuoso like Gilmour doing it all and not employing outside help
  
  Some time ago, I learned that guitarist Snowy White (yes that’s his real name and he’s a great player!) had been hired to play guitar behind Gilmour on both the Animals! & The Wall tours back in the 70’s and Roger Waters had hired him again in 1999 when Waters had put a band together for his In The Flesh tour.

  Cool story Keith.
  Love listening to studio musicians that worked on some of the classics share their memories. You have probably heard Tim Pierce as well others reminise.

  That was very interesting, I just spent an hour reading and listening.
  I had no idea Pink Floyd used session musicians! Amazing times.

  It really surprised me that it was Lee Ritenour.
  I’ve always thought of him as a strictly jazz guitarist
