First Course is the debut album by jazz guitarist Lee Ritenour. The album was released on LP by Epic Records in 1976 and on CD by Columbia Records in 1990.

Reception

First Course was made when Ritenour was considered the best session musician in Los Angeles next to guitarist Larry Carlton.^[2] He recorded the album with peers from Dante's and the Baked Potato club in Studio City, California. AllMusic called the album an "artifact of the early L.A. jazz/funk sound".^[3]

Ritenour worried about the album. "I was still thinking as a studio musician, and I was very worried about having my own identity on the guitar, because up until that time my job as a studio musician had been to be a 'chameleon'...it wasn't until several years later that I felt more comfortable with who I was stylistically."^[2]

Financial problems plagued the album because the "sound perplexed studio executives" were looking for the next Bitches Brew or Return to Forever.^[4] This was melodic rhythm and blues-based jazz that didn't find a home until new wave radio stations became mainstream over a decade later.^[4]
