Jeff Lorber

Jeff Lorber started out like most successful musicians do, as a fan. Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock were two of his earliest inspirations. To figure out how to play like his heroes he studied the history of jazz piano where he discovered Wynton Kelly, Thelonious Monk, McCoy Tyner, Red Garland, Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and many more. Combine that with his love of funk and R&B, and you get one of the most storied careers in modern jazz history.

Jeff began his recording career in 1977 with The Jeff & Lorber Fusion self-titled debut and the ensemble quickly gained traction and became one of the most popular touring acts on the scene. In 1982 he made his solo debut with It’s A Fact and in 1985 he scored his first Grammy nomination with the hit Pacific Coast Highway from the album Step By Step. He has continued to write and record over the last 40 plus years.
