Known for his smooth style of weaving together elements of funk, R&B, rock, and electric jazz, Grammy Award-winning keyboardist, composer, and producer Jeff Lorber helped pioneer the post-fusion sound of contemporary jazz. He crossed over to the mainstream charts with seven Top 200 titles, in addition to more than a dozen with genre-specific albums including Contemporary Jazz, Dance Albums, and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Emerging on the scene in the late '70s, Lorber quickly established himself as a leader at the forefront of the electric jazz movement, issuing albums like 1978's Soft Space (featuring Chick Corea) and 1977's Water Sign with his group the Jeff Lorber Fusion. He scored a Grammy nomination for his 1985 song "Pacific Coast Highway," an accolade that marked his rise into more commercial crossover jazz, culminating in 1986's Private Passion. Following an extended period as a producer, Lorber returned to regular recording in the '90s, and has since balanced his time between solo albums like 2007's He Had a Hat and productions with his fusion trio like 2017's Prototype. After collaborating with guitarist Mike Stern on 2019's Eleven, the Jeff Lorber Fusion returned to jazz-funk with Space-Time in 2021.
He did not issue his first proper solo LP until 1991's Worth Waiting For, remaining both a prolific performer and producer for the rest of the decade. He recorded for Verve and Zebra during the '90s then moved over to Narada in the 2000s, releasing successful smooth jazz albums like 2003's Philly Style and 2005's Flipside. He released He Had a Hat on Blue Note in 2007. In 2010, Lorber released the '70s funk- and soul-inflected Heard That. In 2010, Lorber reactivated the Jeff Lorber Fusion and released Now Is the Time on Heads Up International. The album received generally positive reviews, placed high on the contemporary jazz chart, and was nominated for a Grammy.
Lorber continued to explore with the revitalized JLF, but he went even deeper for 2012's Galaxy (Heads Up/Concord), revisiting in depth the sound he helped pioneer. Lorber, founding Yellowjackets' bassist Jimmy Haslip, and saxophonist Eric Marienthal were accompanied by drummer Vinnie Colaiuta. The album also featured guest spots by trumpeter Randy Brecker, percussionist Lenny Castro, guitarists Paul Jackson, Jr., Michael Thompson, Andrée Theander, and Larry Koonse, and drummer Dave Weckl. In August of 2013, the JLF released Hacienda. It was nominated for Best Pop Instrumental Album at the 2014 Grammy Awards.

you
Tim Palmer's my guy. Soundtrack of my formative years are full of albums he was involved with.
@@F1Filter amazing!
@@djzazk far too kind!
Rafa Sardina!! please!
It's great to see you go back to see Lorber. We can never get enough of Lorber.
Agreed 100% Roy!
Yes! I can never get enough. I have everything!!
As a kid I grow up listening to Jeff Lorber Fusion. He is an underrated Legend for me. His early fusion albums cost me loads of money back in the day, I can't imagine how much they'd cost today.
I'm so happy that he's still making great music. He's a fantastic composer and as a "Jazzer" he was never afraid of technology. So glad you did this.
Your musical palette is deep & wide Warren.
Hi Peter, agreed! Jeff is truly amazing!
Funky Gospel .....Terribly
Lovable. The very beginning of an Amazing story of contemporary music !
Thanks for sharing.
Peace !
Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!!! Been a serious Jeff fan since the 1970s......
You're very welcome Jim!
So funny. Was listening without looking and Warren says, "Let's listen to a bit of the track" and right then You Tube ads kicks in with a Disney ad playing "High Ho". I was momentarily quite shocked we were going to mix a Disney tune.
I met Mr. Lorber a few years ago at the River Raisin Jazz Festival in Monroe, MI. My band (organissimo) played just before him. It was a fun festival and he was a real gentleman. His band was killin', too. Such a great musician. Thanks for this great video.
The drummer on that first track is so good. I thought it might be Gadd. I did a session recently with Harvey Mason. That was other-worldly. Those guys were / are such monsters. It's nice to see this music get the love it deserves.
Jeff is a super cool guy! Back when I was in high school he actually answered my email and sent me the chords to "Raindance". Great guy!
That drummer is amazing, being a drummer myself what he is playing is very challenging and tasteful
Agreed! Amazing drummer
I am so humbled...This is a baptism!.... thanx Warren and Jeff! I was not a jazzer... but I am going back for another dive!
Thanks Brett! Yes, Jeff is amazing
Jeff Lorber is legend to us up near Seattle. Also when I worked at Opcode he was StudioVision user. If I remember right, he was a real power user who used that Shuffle feel with our MPC-style “repeat note” feature.
Yes, amazing talent!
OK this one stopped me dead in my tracks. You had me at Jeff Lorber...Use to see Jeff Lorber Fusion in Portland back in the day... I was giggin in Portland at the time and got to see these guys up close and personal. AMAZING stuff. Pacific Northwest great area for music and lots of great talent everywhere. Thanks for this part one, can't wait for part II. Thanks for the multis...As for favorite producers long list and mostly 'old school' But starts with Quincy and ends with Arif, with a WHOLE lot of equally amazing guys in between.
Jeff!!!!!! He is one of my favorite musicians along with Nathan,Richard,Dave,Najee and Paul!!!!!!!! Love the interview and the conversations on here!!!!
Yes! Such an amazing talent!!
Jeff taught piano to my babysitter many, many moons ago at Clark College in Vancouver, Wa. He recorded some great music with Danny, Dennis, and some skinny Seattle kid on Sax named Kenny Gorlick. I still have my original Wizard Island LP.
Great to hear!
Thanks for sharing that info, Jeff is truly wonderful!
Not sure many people will recognize the name Kenny Gorlick. But they'll recognize the name Kenny G. :)
Wizard Island and Galaxian were great albums
@@edennard1 marvellous!
You're right, the snare sound on the first track is fantastic. :)
Truly amazing!
Jeff Lorber he's one the best Jazz Cats around and a BIG influence in my Fusion Jazz playing.Greetings from La Ceiba.Republic of Honduras.Central America.
Marvellous! Thanks for sharing!
@@Producelikeapro SUPER thanks......
@@papitomelon you’re welcome
I have all of my original albums from Jeff Lorber’s incredible beginnings.
Each successive album just launched higher into the stratosphere. By the time Lorber had done Wizard Island and Galaxia, the song writing and musicianship had reached an almost mystical and unreachable status.
Those guys played the shit out of those songs. And still making great music after all of these years. The more recent tracks sound fantastic.
Fantastic!! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
I can't ever get enough Jeff Lorber
I'm so thrilled you made this - Jeff is so overlooked.
He has produced, written and recorded so much incredible music over many decades.
He never makes a bit deal about it but if you read LP liner notes, you'll keep seeing his name buried in there.
A genius sleeper!
Now this is my type of music and playing. Alex Al bass playing in the second track is unreal. Thank you Warren and Jeff for this video and multitracks.
Thanks very much
I've had this album for many years, all great songs ! Really great to get to mix this song after all these years ! Thank You Warren & Jeff !
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
High wire song is a song by Jeff that is on his early 90s album. i used to wear that album out. JR Robison played drums on the original track. The drums were more present in the old track although Novak is a beast of a drummer.
Amazing! Yes, great album!
I'm just settled in to watch this but I have to say before I watch, one of my favourite tracks of all time is 'Facts of Love' so I am very much looking forward to this.
Fantastic!!
Yeah! Jeff Lorber KING 👑 of Smooth Jazz. Fantastic Musician and Composer. He worked with all of them. Thanks for this insight, Warren! Just Great , really enjoyed this. 👍♥️ Philly , man, that City has some Mojo going strong, if you look at all music legends . Rip, Pat, Brother!
So Honored!!! Definitely a favorite of mine. So stoked to have smooth jazz multitracks!! FINALLY!! thank you thank you thank you. can't wait to dive in.
OMG! I love his fusion and jazz work from the 80s/90s!! This is so exciting! I can't wait to listen to it all.
Fantastic!!
Jeff is so cool! I wore out my copies of Water Sign and Wizard Island when I was a kid.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing
Really wonderful interview! Thank you so much for free multitracks Warren!
Thanks Alexey!
Love how there are barly any plugins and sounds amazing. Recording stage is so much important!
Exactly! Extremely well recorded!
I bought water sign album back when it was first released and wore it out playing it all through my college days! It is still in my album collection and I’ll be listening to it again soon!!
Thanks ever so much Fred!
Great to see such a brilliant musician talking about studio work. Apparently, he knows a about recording.
Jeff is insanely talented and a great guy!
Najee and his brother Fareed were friends of mine from back in the day. Good to see they're still on the scene.
Fantastic
Bloody great..I found JL fusion and Wizard Island Albums back in mid 80s and was Lucky to see you live "at my place" LA '89 and meet Lester McFarland at a small Bar Gig on 4th July very cool memories Cheers from NZ
Thanks ever so much Dave!
@@Producelikeapro Wow you lucky bugger spending time with JL . I play Bass and just was so exciting listening and being influenced by all those cool grooves. Keep up the good work...I may have a nice clean boost pedal for you to check out Cheers Dave G
Freakin' amazing. Saw Jeff at a small club in Nashville in the early 80s. Dennis Chambers on drums. Have been a huge fan ever since.
Thanks ever so much Brandon!
Thank you all for the multitrack files. Great musician. And jamming with George Duke at the NAMM was hilarious. I loved his old records from scratch... Now i think the drums seem a bit too nervous in general. Will be a challenge for me to play along ;-)
You're very welcome! Thanks for the great comment!
Jeff Lorber you are an incredible talent!
He is amazing isn’t he?!
This is amazing Warren, thank you for sharing, Jeff is one of my very favourite musicians
Thanks ever so much! Yes, Jeff Rules!
where'd that 51 minutes just go? it flew by.
He’s amazing
@@Producelikeapro You both are.
@@djGreenALERT too kind! Thanks!
@@Producelikeapro You're very welcome, and thank you for uploading this gem. I look forward to part 2.
What amazing jazz soundscapes! Gonna have to look up these tracks! Can't wait until part II. Tks Warren and Jeff! Jeff, you're fabulous! Take care.
Thanks ever so much Patrick!
Wow!!!
This is a goldmine of information.
Thank you!
Thanks ever so much Mason!
Wow, Jeff Lorber is a legend fusion jazz musician, and thanks to this great channel we have chance to see how jazz music is produced.🧡!
Thanks ever so much! Yes, Jeff is amazing
Can't believe it. Again!!!!! I got to get off the couch more.
Haha thanks ever so much!
My favorite keyboardist of all time!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeff is amazing!
Whoa!!! He mentioned my childhood neighbor's band, Pleasure! My neighbor was the keyboard player. I was a kid and Pleasure had already disbanded but he was definitely a cool and positive guy. Very inspiring!
Thanks Liam! That's great to hear!
What is the name of your neighbor, the keyboard player? I moved to Portland, Oregon four years ago. Maybe I know him!
@@paulward1586 I lived in Seattle as a kid. He had moved up to Seattle and was a lawyer. His name is Michael Hepburn. Great musician!
The drum performance on that first track was truly special.
Agreed 100%!
It didn't seem as if Jeff wanted to give props to the drummer Dennis Bradford but he continued to use him for subsequent sessions.
and he never mentioned Bassist Danny Wilson either..
Man, you would have loved to have been around when he started out with the likes of Wille Bobo, Dennis Bradford, Lester McFarland, Danny Wilson, playing alongside Joe Farell and the late great Chick Corea and of course Kenny Gorlick.
I have been A fan since the 70s when we called it Jazz fusion…
Best albums by far are Water Sign, Galaxian and Wizard Island.
Jeff, for me, made the Fender Rhodes famous.
Incredible you interview him now in 2021. Loving this just as when i discovered him in my youth!
Thank you.
Wow! Thanks ever so much for sharing! That’s very cool
@@Producelikeapro Think(ing) Back and Remember!
Dennis Springer ( Pleasure) was the sax player on the Water Sign lp.
It’s clear that the challenge with modern synthesis is in the recording realm. Take a great musician like Lorber and applying technology to real musical talent is the objective. This was just marvelous!
The amazing Jeff Lorber!!!! The Jeff Lorber Fusion is one of my all-time favorite groups!!! Incredible drumming by the great Dennis Bradford! Thank you A very cool and informative expose with a master musician, arranger, composer, and producer!
He is STILL a beast on the keys and he has a band that is tighter than a frog's ass in ice water.
The fact that he's a top-level producer is icing on the cake. The man is a total force of nature in the jazz world!!
Thank You Warren. Jeff is one of my favorites!
Thank you so much for presenting the great Jeff Lorber talking about his music, his production and his philosophy on these old tracks. This is truly a treasure. Keep up the good work, love.
Thanks ever so much
Wonderful musicianship. Thanks for this Warren and Jeff!
Thanks ever so much Howard!
Oh wow, I heard his name at home since when I was a kid, my dad was a massive Jazz fan and he has all CDs from Jeff. Kind of annoyed me before because I was a metalhead as a kid in a Jazz fan household. Appreciated it later on growing up though when I got deep into learning music as a guitarist 😆
Thanks for sharing!
Totally My Kinda Vybe..... POTENT ! Jeff is a real Diamond ...Excellent Work Warren I'm Just Starting to use APB too !
Thanks ever so much! Yes, Jeff rules!
Great interview! As usual here. Thank you. Greetings!
Thanks ever so much!
Fantastic! Waiting for more multitracks by him...
So cool to hear this music that Jeff Lorber has done over the years. I remember the Jeff Lorber Fusioin from back in the day - excellent!!! What a gifted musician!!! I really enjoyed listening to the songs he highlighted and looking forward to part 2!!! Of course I'll have to get the multitracks as well... Thanks Warren for sharing!!!
Agreed! Thanks ever so much Tom!
Excellent job Warren !!! Paul Jackson King of the compressor for Funk guitar!!!
Thanks Warren and Jeff
Thanks ever so much
Yes!! I have everything that Jeff has made. Been there since the 70's. He is amazing!
Same here.

Thanks ever so much
Just fantastic!! JL is phenomenal
THE hyperdrive track has a bass line out of The Headhunters. MAGIC !!!!
Agreed 100%!
In your next episode, can you please pick his brain about how he is miking the snare and processing it? Man, in every track in the video the snare sound is KILLIN!
Hi Jim, I will double check with him!
I usually make pop music and mix in the box. It was very fun to mix this song :) Great musicians :)
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing! Yes, such great musicians!
This is so fantastic!
Thanks ever so much
I buyed this record when I was 11 years old and changed everything for me.

Thanks ever so much Nash!!
I think the Bass at 18:44 is definitely pick played as Warren thought... great Bassist by the way
Amazing musicians
The advance of thechnolgy from audio to digital is explained here well .i switched to digital in the early 90.s what a struggle , learning about Midi and finding a KBD...but a for me a good move , nother interesting take on things Warren!
Thanks for the great comment David!

Yes!! Amazing

Nathan East , Clarity Mine Hill NJ , Big Bug Music PA
It's just great, thank you!
Thank you too!
Oh man!!, I haven't seen Lorber in yeeeears!!. I used to see his groups play at the Spud way back in the day!. Such a fun period in the LA fusion scene. Some of my keyboard player friends would go to geek out over his playing, and gear! ;:-) ...............listening to these multi track is really fun. The sonic aesthetic back then was so different!.. "who needs 16 tracks!" haaahahaha!!!, love it! :-)
i wouldnt even know where to begin on this style of music on how to mix it.
Try it! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Great interview! Am I mistaken, should there be multitacks to all the songs, or just that one from '76?
Just the one. I’ll ask him for more next time! He’s amazing
Warren... The Hi hat sound from the first track! saturated and lovely.. Sister sledge type feel with air ....Could you elaborate....Really tried to get that vibe but not yet..
Where can we get this stuff....his site?
Oh man I love this guy....
I really can't believe I have JL tracks on my drive.... I think just maybe these will become my new reference tracks! sounds like yellowjackets,,,, or is it the other way around :) many thanks!!! Ramsey Lewis(comp)does he produce!? how can he not, Chance Howard, MMiller, Donny Hathaway, Brian Culbertson, JLorber
While I deeply respect what Jeff has done here.... I still desperately want those Marilyn Manson Multitracks..... oooooh what I wouldn't give.....
Late to the party, but lets get those Private Passion multitracks next
I’ll ask!
@@Producelikeapro 🙇🏽♂️ that record is in permanent rotation
Hey Warren, wonderful session w/ Jeff per unusual. He mentioned using a fruit dryer for baking tapes ... any idea what that is?
That’s an oven that tapes are baked in
Yay!!!!!!!!
Thanks Simone!
I have never seen meters dance like that.
Hay warren , give me a shout, JW, Thanks !!!
Hello James!
