I miss Chuck and his music as it put a big void in the music he produced. Met Chuck many times at Sculler's Jazz Club in the Boston area and was such a wonderful musician plus a better human being. May Chuck the Legend and his music live forever 🙏 ❤️

Great player. I was shocked to hear he had passed. I lost my wife to cancer, Chuck had a unique style and talent. RIP Chuck

RIP Chuck Loeb. You'll live forever in my CD library. Another epic concert video all Loeb lovers shouldn't miss is Fourplay - Live in Tokyo with Bob James, Harvey Mason and Nathan East.

Chuck Loeb was simply one of the best Jazz musicians out there. When Chuck Loeb passed away I got really depressed. Thank God he left us some really amazing Jazz records and these fantastic Live concert footage like this at The FireHouse Cafe. I mean what a amazing show this really is. May Chuck Loeb rest in peace. Amen.

RIP Chuck Loeb. The world lost one of the greatest guitar players ever. You will be missed.

Chuck is truly missed from his Solo band and the great Fourplay band! My favorite guitarist of all time!

It's so said for Chuck to leave us. He was awesome and will always be. I can listen to him all day. I have a 7.1 Denon amp, with atmos sound, surround with Boss speakers. It feels like I'm their at the concert. Man this sound awesome. I really miss him. I play jazz Flute also.

I bet that is great. If you haven't done so, get an HD wall projector and use flat white paint for your wall. You want that 8 - 10 foot wide image. You'll never, ever go back! And your friends won't want to leave.

Chuck was easily one the top 5 greatest guitarists of all time.

I love his music. He was so into it. The Clark Kent of jazz. I really think that fits.

I had the great pleasure of playing a couple of gigs with Chuck back in 96 or 97. I was the drummer in Nelson Rangel's band at the time and backed up Chuck at this jazz fest in Breckenridge Colorado. He had recently released an album that had a tune that got a grammy. Mel Brown was on bass. I actually filmed it. Great player and great guy. He will be missed.

I discovered Chuck right before he died, his music helps me relax. My favorite track is Of The Moon, I first heard it in a department store in the mall and ever since I got hooked on smooth jazz.

I've always liked Chuck's playing style, so clean and groovy. Gone too soon. Sucks loosing so many of my musical heroes lately.

Chuck Loeb: like always taking the Jazz to another whole new level.🎼 Probably I have a Hart attack with just only the first song, when the gig finished probably I'm Dead!! God let me at least see it until finished. LOL!!

...Thank goodness for recordings...and the play back, thus to enjoy later down the road...this is a jewel

Thank you for sharing this complete show with all the TRUE Chuck Loeb fans!!!! plus Andy & Gerald it is simply lovely..RIP Chuck MUSIC NEVER DIES

ONE OF THE BEST GUITAR PLAYERS, PLAYS EVERY NOTE FROM THE ALBUMS, NOTHING IS DIFFERENT OR CHANGED FROM THE ALBUM, CHUCK LOEB, WAS A VERY TALENTED AND ONE OF A KIND, I REALLY LIKE HIS STYLE AND CHANGE UP, GREAT FLOW

Thank God this man's music is all over the radio we'll get to listen to him and think about him till we go beautiful guitars beautiful man beautiful family I saw the tribute to him it's really nice what a great Family Guy but an awesome guitarist just such smooth smooth jazz music love it

It's hard to believe that this 'smooth jazz' genre music is supposedly slowly dying. Of course listening to this Firehouse Cafe deli is so amazing in itself but each instrument can evoke such feeling and passion, which is what the world need more of to bring together.

A lot of the purveyors of this genre of music of course are passing on to the great abyss.....Chuck here being a giant among them. But, heck, we lost Joey Di...., the prodigy Hammond B3 jazz and smooth jazz artist, the Chicago area guitarist Nick Colionne earlier this year, recently Chicago's very own, Ramsey Lewis, and on and on. But, to your point about smooth jazz dying.....I have been trying to decipher what Watercolors station on Sirius XM is trying to achieve by knocking off the terminology "smooth jazz" and instead referring to the artists/music they play as "C-Jazz" or contemporary jazz. We get up one day and must put down the term smooth jazz? It's still smooth jazz but they insist on calling it contemporary jazz. Maybe better to refer it to as "more accessible" or "less abstract" jazz. It isn't Miles Davis or Dave Brubeck, but God, it has every reason to carry forward the smooth jazz mantle.....since so many in my generation grew up on this material from the 80's through today, about 35-40 years. It was a fitting description and still is. But, folks, enjoy your Dave Grusin, Lee Ritenour, David Benoit, Larry Carlton, Bob James, Nathan East, Harvey Mason et al. These men are among the senior, senior citizens of the smooth jazz genre.

I think that this genre doesn't work anymore because only musicians who played previously serious jazz, are able to do interesting things in this genre. If you have in your hands the attitude to chords change and The stantdars, you can't say something really interesting. If you play only this genre what you do is less interesting when not boring. Today there is less people who can play over changes.

RIP Chuck. Thanks for leaving us so much great music.

I heard Mr. Loeb more than a decade ago. He was one of my inspirations. What caught my attention first were those great tunes that he wrote; all were different and catchy but still had his unique fingerprint (no pun intended). Next was his improvisation; he was on it! I was lucky to see him live several times, and he did not disappoint. So sorry to hear of his passing and my condolences go out to his family.

Indeed, this man played the guitar as if he came out of his mother's womb with it in his hands!! Such a "GREAT" loss to the music world but, THANK YOU SOO MUCH for BLESSINGS us with your GIFT! RIP my brother, Amen!🙏🏽😌👌🏾👍🏾❤💯💯💯💯

Rest In Peace Chuck! I'm so grateful that I experienced you playing along with Fourplay this past March at Southern University! Best group ever! My condolences to your wife Carmen and your children.

Had the pleasure of meeting him at SOB'S IN NYC. Super friendly and approachable guy Went to see Special EFX Chuck wasn't on the bill. As I walked up to bldg to enter i heard Chuck playing and started fist pumping!

Chuck, massively underrated! Hes a God to his fans! First time I heard this group together... Holly cow!

Thank you for this video. 👌🏿 Rest In Eternal Power my friend. What an affable, humble and humorous man Chuck Loeb was. It was such an honour and great privilege to host and perform with him here in Uganda, in 2009. Thank you so much for the Music 👊🏿🖤🤍

Sadly for me, i didn't know that he passed away but the legacy he leaves behind is indeed a lasting one and his output will be with us for tens of generations to come... God take him up and let him rest outside of time for a bit then return him to life, to his craft and we'll take him in any shape ok? Thank you Chuck and please swing by the planet again....🌐🎸👁️✌️

He is one of the best musicians on the international music stage. One of the last giants coming from '70 & '80 generation of musicians. After them music has not the same depth, fantasy, freedom and quality.

RIP Chuck... It was amazing.

RIP. I love his music and passion for music. especially Java Jazz Festival

Chuck was one of the best guitarists I have heard and sad that he has passed away. RIP !!

I was not aware that Chuck was gone. So sorry to hear that. RIP CHUCK. Amazing talent!​

First saw Chuck in the early nineties in a small club in upstate NY (Walt's Grille), a February snowy night, he was with Clint DeGannon, Ned Mann, and Jon Werking.....peeled my scalp back......been following him ever since

Chuck Loeb est un être admirable, il est tant précieux avec ses musiciens ils les aime, cela est magnifique et transpire, il est énorme de musicalité, il nous donne une belle leçon de musicalité et d'humilité, il est trop peu connu et cela est bien dommage. Merci Monsieur Chuck Loeb pour votre existence.

Chuck Loeb the best Jazz guitarist of all time. Such an inspiration. Rest in power & your music for ever resonates. John Phaleng

stunning guitar work , thank you so much Chuck Loeb for the music , we'll never forget you ...

Chuck, you will be truly missed, but your music will live forever. My most sincere condolences to your family. RIP my man...

I miss this Gentle Giant...There are tons of So-Smooth Jazz guys out there, that can't swing , worth a rotten apple..This man was and is one of the Baddest, EVER...RIP Chuck..I miss you, terribly....I only hope one day I can bring a little something to smooth Jazz and honor , what you have given me..
