There are certain musicians for whom music is a calling and necessity. The evidence is heard in their inspired
creations and witnessed in the gravitational force of their performances. Contemporary Jazz pioneers, Grammy
winning pianist/keyboardist Jeff Lorber, Grammy nominated saxophonist Everette Harp and the late guitarist
and multiple Grammy nominated Chuck Loeb, are three artists who exemplify this notion. Jazz Times Magazine
describes the threesome as “..A hefty, and very tasty helping of jazz, funk and soul…with the ability to blend their
styles seamlessly” while AllMusic touts “…Creatively vibrant unit with a shared vision.” In 2014, after logging many
miles on the road with one another, Lorber, Harp and Loeb formed Jazz Funk Soul with the mission of
recreating on record the spontaneity and explosive chemistry of their live shows. Revered as three of the
primary architects of Contemporary Jazz, the threesome’s credits collectively include millions of records sold, a
Grammy win and multiple nominations and performance credits with some of the biggest names in music
including U2, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Miles Davis, Stan Getz, The Isley Brothers, Billy Joel and Chaka
Khan. Jazz Funk Soul’s eponymously titled debut came in 2014 and was followed by More Serious Business
in 2016. The world mourned the loss of guitarist, producer and composer Chuck Loeb, affectionately dubbed as
“The Clark Kent of Jazz Guitar,” on July 31, 2017. Loved not only for his superb musicianship by musicians
and fans alike worldwide, Loeb was equally adored for his gentle and beautiful spirit.
