Rafa Sardina!! please!

Funky Gospel .....Terribly Lovable. The very beginning of an Amazing story of contemporary music ! Thanks for sharing. Peace !

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.

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!

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.

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 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 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.

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.
