Funk Maestro & Key Extraordinaire Jeff Lorber is the Frank Zappa of Jazz, Played & Introduced so many Incredible musicians, Paying homage the the Great David Frank
You can’t help but appreciate not only how awesome a player he is here, but also the fact that he plugged his piano into a chorus generator and was able to duplicate to some small degree the sound created by Robbie Buchanan. And, he isn’t even using the Dyna-my-Piano mods, is he?
It's just awesome that he grew up right around the corner from me. He just helps to give Cheltenham it's recognition for musical talent, adding to the impression left behind by Michael and Randy Brecker. It's local musicians like Jeff Lorber and Ken Ulansey who push me to keep practicing. Btw, If anyone wants to hear an awesome Lorber song, look up "Step On It" on his album "Philly Style".
Honestly, I believe Stevie Wonder was the first to incorporate 30 sec note Bass riff notes using synthesizers including using drum machines for his music. Dennis Davis (RIP) was his drummer and a friend of mine, and shared with me how Stevie would come up with these interesting drum patterns using the drum machine that he had to learn to his frustration.
Oh my, that's the uber-bright 'Saving all my Love for You' sound. That's what I love about a Rhodes; you can manipulate the sound to suit your tastes...
Agreed. I'm into that darker sounding Rhodes kick as well. But back in the day I absolutely loved this tone that JL is using. Funny how with musical growth comes a taste for the warmer tones...
Have a listen to Deodata's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" to hear the Rhodes in context; then listen to "I'm Not In Love" by 10cc; try Tom Scott; try Joe Sample; try Donald Fagen .. I don't know Jeff Lorber, but I really think that to appreciate the Rhodes one has to appreciate its awesome versatility ... that' its legend, not a bunch of jazzy licks!
Remember Jeff Lorbers DX 7 period and it was really Shite compared to his Rhodes sound, love the Würlitzer too. Nice to hear he has gone back to the real thing. Now do it live too please. It seems like all the rhodes they use on records is not used live and that's a pity.
Lorber uses the Yamaha S90ES for his live performances which does well and he has a fantastic Rhodes patch. His album Hacienda in 2013 is the last REAL RHODES album he has and he sparingly puts the real Rhodes in his albums today. I can tell if he is using the Yamaha or Rhodes, just gotta have an ear for it…nevertheless…the dude is a genius.
Man I love Jeff Lorber. One of the greatest musicians ever.
' Tines ' is now a setting or preset emulation on many workstations and portable keyboards. Other non trademarked names might be EP1, 70s EP or Dyno
He has the most amazing Rhodes sound period!
Real treat Jeff! Great introspection from truly One of Greatest Funk Maestros to have walked the Planet
Funk Maestro, Jeff is the Zappa of Fusion Jazz, Played, Produced & Introduced so much talent over the years

Ooohhhh THAT'S the Rhodes sound I LOVE...and Jeff Lorber? Geesh, one of my top three influences as a relative "wanna-be" jazz keyboardist.

+catboyzee But you can't get that early 70's tone with a later model no matter how it's adjusted.
Different hammers and tines, right?
Amazing they did not include Richard Tee!
What a bad ass!!!! This man rules!!!
I always turn the tone knob (EQ) down to get the highs out of it. I agree.
His music is perfect for Rhodes
Sounds like he has either the dyno mod or the George duke hard neoprene tips done.
he has great feel
Funk Maestro... ...
Doctor Garbonzo
Wtf, why’d it fade out in the end? He was getting down, I was loving it!
great!
Clanky later model without the warmth of the early mk1. Would love to hear him on a mk1a.
