The whole band is tight, but i love a good drummer who plays a simple pocket with sneaky good accents, and breaks. Give it up for Sonny Emory on Drums...........
I discovered Jeff in 1978 on vinyl and eventually saw him in Greenwich Village's The Bottom Line Club on the West Side. Very good night and great memories.
I can never get enough of Jeff Lorber. Been a far since the early 80's. Kenny G used to be his sax player back in the day. Have just about everything Jeff has prouduse.
From the record of the same title. I used to see Jeff in dive clubs 45 years ago in Boston when he attended Berklee School of Music. He was good then and still great today.
Ah! That sounds much more like it!!! I have been an avid fan ( have all his stuff on vinyl too, except his must recent digital stuff...) since the days of The Jeff Lorber Fusion when Willie Bobo played with him and well before Kenny G ( Gorlick ) became famous with his mellow but smooth sax playing which ironically won him a Grammy when Jeff was already playing award winning fusion... Such is life! May Jeff's music live on!
Sounds like typically not so great 80's attempts at fusion song/with lyrics/ trying to score some MOR/RnB Adult contemporary crossover airplay. Well, it's actually better than most of those embarrassing attempts. There was some very cringy love songs lyrics being sung back then trying for a market share on the Quiet Storm. Some of Jeff's song too. Oh my. Lame. They shoulda called Stevie W or Paul McArtney or Paul Simon or Maurice White for some help, but of course they were greedy powder heads, and needed the money badly, and thought they'd keep all the publishing for text and music. Wrong. You kept 5% of" not much", cuz those songs were never going top 10 with those tiresome, cliche,. cheesy, SpyroGyra type melodies and cringey lyrics. Leave the lyric writing to lyricists. Don't try to step too far outside the purview of your acumen, or you will make people CRINGE:, Just write and play the deadly, hard, smoking, funky stuff.:)
Jeff Lorber Fan seit den 80ern. Einfach der beste. Aber natürlich auch die Kollegen, nicht von dieser Welt: grandios virtuos! Ich habe Jeff drei mal in Stuttgart erleben dürfen - das beste, was ich live bis dato gesehen habe. Und ich habe viel gesehen.
The bass Nate is playing is a Fender FMT that Fender constructed back in 2000-2004. I had this very same bass and sold it to purchase a Sadowsky which was a mistake.
im pretty sure that Eric Marienthal on sax. Jeff Lorber Fusion Band, wow! He is definitely one of the greats in the ways in his recognizable marquis chords arrangements as he tickles the ebonies & ivories that have a way of sticking with his fans, to which, i am one of money!! i first heard Jeff Lorber Fusion Band''s sounds, im pretty sure in the great city of Detroit on, WJZZ . It wasn't until the Summer, prior to, my freshman year of college as my new brother-in law, my sister, and Mom* had made a pot stop in Ann Arbor / UNIVERSITY of MICHIGAN on our way to visit with relatives residing in Detroit. my brother-in-law has immediately provided the answer to my posed question " what is the name of this band playing tight now, as, we enjoyed cruising up State Street That when sisters Husband, ( br provided s responded with the name, Jeff Lorber Fusion Band. Song - " Rain Dance, circa Spring, 1985.' However, i played s the Coronet ( jazz trumpet from the learning the scales since the 5th grade up, till that juncture. It was a Good Day
Another stellar Lorber lineup!! I agree with the other enthusiastic posters about Sonny Emory. He just makes the band even better! Though drummers are inherently obscured by the massive kits that are the tools of their trade, they are the ones that really make or break a band. With Sonny Emory's pristine chops, we know that he clearly falls into the former category of making the band! He makes it look effortless. 🥁Hats off (pun intended) to the incomparable Lorber and crew. Kudos to all! This is the title track on a gem of an album. I think it's one of Lorber's more diverse albums to date as it gives the listener a glimpse of the many facets of the keyboard wizard's musical vision (whether it's a midtempo tune such as this, a funky romp like "Surreptitious" or the tender Eric Benet and Paula Cole duet of "The Other Side of the Heart," Jeff Lorber is truly a treasure! God bless!🎹🎶🥁🎷🎸
right you are Nelson, I played Wizard Island so much in our house growing up everybody knew the songs and was often heard humming them all through the house. I especially love the new version of Reflections
The undisputed! GODFATHER of Jazz Fusion.
The one and only Nathaniel Phillips on Bass,that's one smooth funky soulful band
👍Thank you!
The Fender Rhodes sound is one of the most beautiful tones ever!
Except that it's not a Fender Rhodes
@@MinimoonStudio ...the Fender Rhodes 'sound'. I know it's not Rhodes. It was a general comment.
@@johncrenshawjr.5048 That’s my point though… a real rhodes would sound so much better!
The whole band is tight, but i love a good drummer who plays a simple pocket with sneaky good accents, and breaks. Give it up for Sonny Emory on Drums...........
Sonny is great. He does his job very well and that is making everyone sound better. He never over plays.
This cat has such a tight touch that makes the melodies super slick and dynamic. Hell of a drummer!
This concert is like a MASTER CLASS on ALL INSTRUMENTS.......
Music therapy yes yes yes ❤️💖❤️
Jeff Lorber! A guarantee for quality music.
Love Jeff dude knows how to play and arrange some of the best music I have ever heard. Been a fan since the 80's with him music.
these guys are among the best musicians in the world!!
No arguement with that. Lorber! words aren't good enough.
.......followed Jeff and the crew for decades and still sounding great. Huge respect!
Sonny Emory is killin' it. Jeff Lorber you are the BOSS!!
These guys are phenomenal musicians! The dynamic is awesome.
Hope they live on fore ever and give us still so much pleasure.
Marienthal is MONSTER on the Alto Horn!!!!
I have never heard a bad note from him. He’s inhuman!
most underrated sax man
killin it like The Whalings of " Bird " ( Chatlie Parker meets contemporary jazz )
Love Jeff been listening from the early years he has just got better with time and his humility makes him shine
I've been with him since the 70's. Yes he gets better and is humble. I'm a fan forever.
I keep coming back over and over again. They're just so funky.
Love how every musician up there had a solo.
Jeff Lorber, we love you!
Love everything about jeff's conception of his music to the picking of his fine musicians for a difficult task in fusion jazz. Beautiful work!
Sonny Emory, maybe the only drummer that never over plays.
Have you actually heard of Steve Gadd? lol
The late Jeff Porcaro can also be counted as well. Always played for the song, nothing else.
They are so generous with each other. Each makes the others sound better.
I discovered Jeff in 1978 on vinyl and eventually saw him in Greenwich Village's The Bottom Line Club on the West Side. Very good night and great memories.
Simply Fantastic!!
this groove's like crazy!!! It's got a nice melody and great chord changes!
I can never get enough of Jeff Lorber. Been a far since the early 80's. Kenny G used to be his sax player back in the day. Have just about everything Jeff has prouduse.
I wish Jeff Lorber would have played longer. I enjoyed his part so much. The whole band was on point👏👏👏👍
Wow Sonny in full flight that bass amazing Eric and Jeff take it to unexplored territory.
Beautiful
From the record of the same title. I used to see Jeff in dive clubs 45 years ago in Boston when he attended Berklee School of Music. He was good then and still great today.
Jeff Lorber is a BAD MAN and the musicians he attracts are masterful
David Terrell can you be specific'?
can you ? what are you talking about ?
When you say Jeff Lorber is a BAD MAN...As in negative way, or as a really outstanding musician..?
oh outstanding musician for sure my friend :)
Ah! That sounds much more like it!!!
I have been an avid fan ( have all his stuff on vinyl too, except his must recent digital stuff...) since the days of The Jeff Lorber Fusion when Willie Bobo played with him and well before Kenny G ( Gorlick ) became famous with his mellow but smooth sax playing which ironically won him a Grammy when Jeff was already playing award winning fusion...
Such is life!
May Jeff's music live on!
He had a hat and he could scat and you know that! He could blow that saxophone at the microphone at nite under the lites!

that is one of the best EP voicings i’ve ever heard
These guys play so well together! Each one is trying to make the others sound better.
It's called workmanship, each one is vibing off each other, they signal each other when to come in and out.
These guys play together so well.
Ouais ! un bien joli groupe, une musique pétillante et entraînante. Bravo, les chefs !
Ahhh,...this is the good stuff. A total joy to listen to. Listening to this in 2022.
One of lorber's best and what a group of legend's, Marienthal what can you say and that drummer, positively smokin

WOW what an ending! OOOFFF!
Jeff Lorber Fan seit den 80ern. Einfach der beste. Aber natürlich auch die Kollegen, nicht von dieser Welt: grandios virtuos! Ich habe Jeff drei mal in Stuttgart erleben dürfen - das beste, was ich live bis dato gesehen habe. Und ich habe viel gesehen.
Jeff is the man
Nate Philips excelente labor!!!
what great talents. that is a great work,....love you jeff & the band
th-cam.com/video/9sa49AL_Ebo/w-d-xo.html
The bass Nate is playing is a Fender FMT that Fender constructed back in
2000-2004. I had this very same bass and sold it to purchase a Sadowsky which was a mistake.
"Feel it in Ya spirit, shout out Lemme hear it!"
some music bring you memories when it was released for first time,and the things you did in those days it was released
Jeff, Eric, Sonny, Nate...can it get any more complete?????......NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Love this tune!!
That is him, and he is a cold piece of work.
GENIUSES
Hell yea Sonny Emory was fn laying it down! That was BAD ASS
simply awesome!!
Over these many years, it always seems Jeff is very generous with all the bad members. Each really adds to the composition.
What I Like More!! The best song of Smooth Jazz!!
Хочется слушать и слушать... Просто шедевр
Love seeing Eric And Jeff together, it's cool.
th-cam.com/video/9sa49AL_Ebo/w-d-xo.html

Yeah man. Music from the soul, i love it.
