The tunes are an interesting mix of standards and original jazz compositions by members of the band. Rich Eames and Tom Peterson provide the majority of actual arrangements\, with Clay Jenkins and Dick Weller each individually contributing an arrangement themselves. \nIra Nepus- Trombone \nJeff D’Angelo- bass \nTom Peterson- saxophone \nClay Jenkins-trumpet \nRich Eames- piano \nDick Weller- drums \nDenise Donatelli- guest vocals URL:https://eventskeyt.wpenginepowered.com/event/l-a-6-featuring-denise-donatelli/ LOCATION:The Grape\, 2733 E.

Gary became part of the core rhythm section around 2010. He’s a good friend and good hang. We have a lot of fun together besides making music.” The album also enlists some help from flutist Hubert Laws\, guitarists Paul Jackson\, Jr.\, Michael Landau and Robben Ford\, saxophonists Bob Mintzer\, Dave Mann\, Gary Meek and Gerald Albright (who actually plays electric bass on a track). Space-Time showcases new and original material including a track that was penned for Jeff’s friend and towering piano giant Chick Corea\, shortly after his passing.\n \n \nJeff Lorber Fusion maps out all of the celestial coordinates on Space-Time\, offering a wondrous galaxy of sonic delight. Lorber and company manage to create a sound and feel throughout the album that captures the essence and vibe of a live show. “All the musicians are experienced studio musicians and that’s something that studio players always aim for. The idea is to make it sound natural\, grooving and relaxed and to capture the sound of playing for a live audience even though the audience isn’t physically there.” While most of the band completed the album from their own remote studio locations\, Lorber and Gary Novak did have the opportunity to record together in the same studio. “Over the last number of years most of us have gotten used to tracking at home\,” explains Jeff. “So from that standpoint it wasn’t that different from a normal record. One thing that was different\, however was the absence of live touring\, I was able to really focus on the record and this album benefitted positively from that.” URL:https://eventskeyt.wpenginepowered.com/event/jeff-lorber-fusion/ LOCATION:The Grape\, 2733 E.
