Burn Brightly ~ Jeff Lorber   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info This 2007 release by smooth-jazz keyboardist Jeff Lorber is his first for Blue Note, and it is one of his most eclectic offerings, drawing on a variety of jazz styles. "All Most Blues" is a classic swinging ballad, while "Grandma's Hands" is a funk/blues workout with a soulful vocal. "Super Fusion Unit" and "BC Bop" are what their titles suggest, and over the course of the album he also touches on gospel and Latin. Lorber's butter-smooth keyboards provide the constant, as he veers easily from influence to influence.   Compilation Appearances Jazz To The World Unwrapped Vol.02 Night Grooves Party Jams Hidden Beach Recordings Presents: unw Sweet & Sexy Best Of New Urban Jazz Forever For Always For Luther 2 (Di Superwoman:best Of Karyn White Back From The 80's Once In A Lifetime Weather Channel Presents: Best Of Smooth Jazz Smooth Jazz II Doin The D Mind Over Matter Talk Of The Town Unwrapped Vol.02   Technical Info Release Date : 04/03/2007 Original Release Date : 2007 Catalog ID : 094635561128 Label : Narada Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 52m : 15s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00094635561128   Professional Reviews JazzTimes (p.116) - "There's plenty for smooth-jazz fans to sink their teeth into, as Lorber extends himself on numerous solos that capture the grace and dexterity of his live performances."    Product Image
