This guy and his band of fusion savants have been killing it for as long as I can remember. Wizard Island anyone? High school for me. I wasn't cool listening to this back then but I didn't care. Still great.
Grammy-winning favorite Jeff Lorber boasts an all-star lineup of top shelf musicians here (Phillips; Sills; Griffin; and Darius--all of whom have successful solo careers). During the late Eighties, Lorber took a break from his own recordings and focused primarily on producing other artists. His return in the early Nineties with such breakout cds as "Worth Waiting For" and "West Side Stories" gave long time-Lorber fans the quality, high octane, funky and energetic performances that have become his signature sound. The Philly born keyboard virtuoso never follows trends; he stays true to maintaining his own infectious style during the past four decades--the true mark and definition of an artist. Jeff Lorber--there is no substitute! And we love that! Thank you and God bless!🎹🎹🎶🎼🎵
I saw Jeff Lorber Fusion my 2nd year of college at Kent State Univ around 1983’. There was no Kenny G. Just a little fellow named Kenny Gorelick who played every wind instrument you can imagine. What a trail of smoke both left on that stage. OMG.Jeff is such a jazz hero to me. I doubt there is an album/disc of his I do not own. Wizard Island is still my No#1!
Hey!! I was at the University of Akron and it was 1981 and Jeff came back twice to Kent State and I was there both times!!! Someone turned me on to him in 1979 my lst year in college and I have been a fan ever since! I have everything he has ever made as well as with other musicians (check out Vibes Alive) I'm a heavily biased fan and he is beyond great. It's so nice to know that we were there at the same time and you appreciated the group!
@@juneniemann391 That’s awesome. I’m sure we were at the same show. I saw Jeff out in Scottsdale on his tour with Mike Stern to promote their album. They were great but Jeff was very layer back. I will check out that album. I thought I had them all but may have missed one. I so wish Jeff would return to this area for a show !
Impresionante la labor de todo el staff!!! Gloriosa la intervención de Nate Philips y Dwight...Gracias por el buen trabajo y por el buen sonido de este material.
Where can I find Dwight Sills??? Is he touring the world on his bike? I played with him in Axis(Houston 80`s) and would like to get back in touch. Any ideas???
And this is exactly why most people don't like jazz. Jeff Lorber is a phenomenal player but this music is just non-descript. Bland.....So many notes, so little music. So much modern jazz is about how great the players are, not how good the songs are. Because the songs are mostly just a vehicle for the musicians to go nuts. Gets pretty boring after awhile. More isn't more, guys....
that's why i like music..!! it is just 12 notes..if you understand the 12 notes and their relationship to eachother then all music "sounds the same" other than tone and timbre.. the more i listen, the more i like all music..

He's the best, he's a model for most of musicians
One of my favorite artists of all time, Jeff Lorber is just amazing.

Did someone say Wizard Island? The one that turned me out.
Remember Water sign?
@@bottleforty1 Yeah. Such a great era for fusion.
YA STILL COOL!!!!
These guys are beyond talented, absolute top quality jazz!!
Love me some Jeff Lorber! So glad I came across this!

YES! THANK YOU JEFF I LOVE YOU SINCE 1979!
Rayford...nuff said! First time seeing Dwight onstage - loved his first two albums. Jeff knows how to put a band together doesn't he!
Rayford on drums! I met Rayford through some mutual friends back in the 80s. Very nice gentleman and of course a monster on the kit!
Started listening to Mr.Lorber in the early 90's., thank god.
The 1980s for me. He's something.
1970's for me. Thank God.
jimmy smith I’m just getting introduced to his incredible talents. Genius!

Incredible crew! Every one of them! I could write an essay on each, but it's better just to listen. Thank you guys for this musical gift
Been a fan of this stuff as a kid!! 78years and STILL COOKING!!!
Nate Phillips was on Point 😀🎸
It's definitely Nathan Phillips on bass! He's played with Jeff since the 80s.
Nate's Killin it!
Former bassist for Pleasure, Seattle funk band.
Jeff is a talented human piano artist. His funk is like Dave Dave Brubeck gone wild. So pudding smooth
Get it correct, Nathaniel Phillips and the band Pleasure was from my hometown of Portland, Oregon.

This group has the same coefficient of funk as the original Jeff Lorber Fusion

Where can I find Dwight Sills???
Is he touring the world on his bike?
I played with him in Axis(Houston 80`s)
and would like to get back in touch.
Any ideas???
What’s up! Dwight here. Who is this?
@@dwightsills8785 Kyle Keys Now in London uk Would love to connect with you. Hope you’re well.
Anyone know the progression for this tune?
Who plays with Jeff?
Rayford Griffin on drums, Eric Darius on sax, Nate Phillips on bass. I am still trying to figure out who is playing the guitar ...
Thank you!
Dwight Sills - Guitarist
Is that Eric Darius on sax?
And now...your local forecast.
The crowd clapping on 1 slightly triggered me...
Jeff Lorber mike suffered for GAY Rights, non GAY mike is not fair HUMAN RIGHTS we share.???

Well that Being Said I Greatly Appreciate What they Do As Musicians Interpreting Through The Chords.
