[@turbo1234ist]

Great player. I was shocked to hear he had passed. I lost my wife to cancer, Chuck had a unique style and talent. RIP Chuck

[@Yigit-nw4et]

Sorry for your loss

[@jaialai6629]

sorry to hear about your wife. God Bless.

[@dronebuzz]

I miss Chuck. A sweet brother. His grooves will live on in me and so many other guitar players for sure! ;-)

[@hoghannah]

I miss Chuck and his music as it put a big void in the music he produced. Met Chuck many times at Sculler's Jazz Club in the Boston area and was such a wonderful musician plus a better human being. May Chuck the Legend and his music live forever 🙏 ❤️

[@minamiyamoto9976]

RIP Chuck Loeb. You'll live forever in my CD library. Another epic concert video all Loeb lovers shouldn't miss is Fourplay - Live in Tokyo with Bob James, Harvey Mason and Nathan East.

[@karlsheldon60]

It's so said for Chuck to leave us. He was awesome and will always be. I can listen to him all day. I have a 7.1 Denon amp, with atmos sound, surround with Boss speakers. It feels like I'm their at the concert. Man this sound awesome. I really miss him. I play jazz Flute also.

[@Spherian7]

I bet that is great. If you haven't done so, get an HD wall projector and use flat white paint for your wall. You want that 8 - 10 foot wide image. You'll never, ever go back! And your friends won't want to leave.

[@prabyor]

one of my favorites with Chuck Loeb. We lost a great one and I know GOD likes him in his band in heaven

[@arjunsajeev]

RIP Chuck Loeb. The world lost one of the greatest guitar players ever. You will be missed.

[@bassiclogic]

Chuck is truly missed from his Solo band and the great Fourplay band! My favorite guitarist of all time!

[@southtxblues]

Mine too

[@LauraMooCow315sDad]

Rest in Peace, Chuck. A job well done while here on Earth.

[@laurentvinikoff9474]

When did he dies ? I didn’t know this ! I’m so sad…

[@donroberts1420]

Check to that. Great talent Chuck.

[@KevinFreist]

that man was blessed. we were blessed to have him. i just discovered him so much too late for a live show but ill enjoy his work and legacy.

[@gargotier6124]

You should listen the bread and butter album

[@canalrodrigobetim]

Love this... Wow ... What a magnificent performance. How I love it all. it is very gratifying to watch and feel the music that comes from the heart ... Gratitude. Wili from Brazil

[@larrylong3100]

Chuck Loeb was simply one of the best Jazz musicians out there. When Chuck Loeb passed away I got really depressed. Thank God he left us some really amazing Jazz records and these fantastic Live concert footage like this at The FireHouse Cafe. I mean what a amazing show this really is. May Chuck Loeb rest in peace. Amen.

[@Omahamaho]

I discovered Chuck right before he died, his music helps me relax. My favorite track is Of The Moon, I first heard it in a department store in the mall and ever since I got hooked on smooth jazz.

[@23names]

ONE OF THE BEST GUITAR PLAYERS, PLAYS EVERY NOTE FROM THE ALBUMS, NOTHING IS DIFFERENT OR CHANGED FROM THE ALBUM, CHUCK LOEB, WAS A VERY TALENTED AND ONE OF A KIND, I REALLY LIKE HIS STYLE AND CHANGE UP, GREAT FLOW

[@TJKillip]

It's hard to believe that this 'smooth jazz' genre music is supposedly slowly dying. Of course listening to this Firehouse Cafe deli is so amazing in itself but each instrument can evoke such feeling and passion, which is what the world need more of to bring together.

[@johnmaer]

A lot of the purveyors of this genre of music of course are passing on to the great abyss.....Chuck here being a giant among them. But, heck, we lost Joey Di...., the prodigy Hammond B3 jazz and smooth jazz artist, the Chicago area guitarist Nick Colionne earlier this year, recently Chicago's very own, Ramsey Lewis, and on and on. But, to your point about smooth jazz dying.....I have been trying to decipher what Watercolors station on Sirius XM is trying to achieve by knocking off the terminology "smooth jazz" and instead referring to the artists/music they play as "C-Jazz" or contemporary jazz. We get up one day and must put down the term smooth jazz? It's still smooth jazz but they insist on calling it contemporary jazz. Maybe better to refer it to as "more accessible" or "less abstract" jazz. It isn't Miles Davis or Dave Brubeck, but God, it has every reason to carry forward the smooth jazz mantle.....since so many in my generation grew up on this material from the 80's through today, about 35-40 years. It was a fitting description and still is. But, folks, enjoy your Dave Grusin, Lee Ritenour, David Benoit, Larry Carlton, Bob James, Nathan East, Harvey Mason et al. These men are among the senior, senior citizens of the smooth jazz genre.

[@gkimmeo]

@@johnmaer t

[@johnmaer]

@@gkimmeo Yes, sir, what can I do for you?

[@MecPex]

I think that this genre doesn't work anymore because only musicians who played previously serious jazz, are able to do interesting things in this genre. If you have in your hands the attitude to chords change and The stantdars, you can't say something really interesting. If you play only this genre what you do is less interesting when not boring. Today there is less people who can play over changes.

Thanks a lot ❤

[@bluenote335]

Chuck was easily one the top 5 greatest guitarists of all time.

[@Egard1]

Totally true

[@williampinner1893]

I had the great pleasure of playing a couple of gigs with Chuck back in 96 or 97. I was the drummer in Nelson Rangel's band at the time and backed up Chuck at this jazz fest in Breckenridge Colorado. He had recently released an album that had a tune that got a grammy. Mel Brown was on bass. I actually filmed it. Great player and great guy. He will be missed.

[@amberhumphreys807]

So sad to hear Chuck is gone. 31/7/17 at 61. The "Clark Kent of Jazz". Thanks for so much good music.

[@stratdave1]

Way too soon!

Going on 3 years now. Thankfully his music lives on.

[@nickjust2939]

I love his music. He was so into it. The Clark Kent of jazz. I really think that fits.

[@davidgerald2634]

That drummer ain't playin'. Keeping it in the groove during his solo. A true masterpiece of solo drumming.

Revisiting one of my biggest guitar inspirations ! The amazing musicianship is awesome without question , but the writing is incredible and perfect!

[@BrianVallotton]

I was listening to him today and enjoying Presence. I did not know he passed away until right now. He was truly a master and I too wish to emulate him. He is now in THE Presence. God bless.

[@zas5892]

[@TheDeLeonGarageCollection]

I've always liked Chuck's playing style, so clean and groovy. Gone too soon. Sucks loosing so many of my musical heroes lately.

[@ronaldburke2857]

Chuck Loeb, one of the great guitarist of his age. He will be missed. I was lucky enough to see him twice when he came here to Barcelona with his guartet and at the nearby Terrassa Jazz Festival with Metro. Both wonderful concerts.

[@supercooled]

Is he Mediterranean’s ? I know he married a Latin wife forget her name. She sings on his albums.

[@BlackRootsUNLIMITED]

Thank you for this video. 👌🏿 Rest In Eternal Power my friend. What an affable, humble and humorous man Chuck Loeb was. It was such an honour and great privilege to host and perform with him here in Uganda, in 2009. Thank you so much for the Music 👊🏿🖤🤍

[@cjorg16]

RIP Chuck. Thanks for leaving us so much great music.

[@Dionydejesus]

Chuck Loeb: like always taking the Jazz to another whole new level.🎼 Probably I have a Hart attack with just only the first song, when the gig finished probably I'm Dead!! God let me at least see it until finished. LOL!!

[@mikeporro3311]

Had the pleasure of meeting him at SOB'S IN NYC. Super friendly and approachable guy Went to see Special EFX Chuck wasn't on the bill. As I walked up to bldg to enter i heard Chuck playing and started fist pumping!

[@VeriteProductions1]

What a tremendous talent Chuck was. I am so glad he left such a wonderful body of work. He will be missed.

[@loiclelandais2073]

Chuck Loeb est un être admirable, il est tant précieux avec ses musiciens ils les aime, cela est magnifique et transpire, il est énorme de musicalité, il nous donne une belle leçon de musicalité et d'humilité, il est trop peu connu et cela est bien dommage. Merci Monsieur Chuck Loeb pour votre existence.

[@Derek-ws2xu]

this is still one my Jazz tunes to listen 2 in 2021 RIP C.L.🎸 🎵

[@cliffdickson]

The Bass player never gets enough credit - what a solid Bass player.

[@lwade3481]

I heard Mr. Loeb more than a decade ago. He was one of my inspirations. What caught my attention first were those great tunes that he wrote; all were different and catchy but still had his unique fingerprint (no pun intended). Next was his improvisation; he was on it! I was lucky to see him live several times, and he did not disappoint. So sorry to hear of his passing and my condolences go out to his family.

[@chefallen520]

I miss this Gentle Giant...There are tons of So-Smooth Jazz guys out there, that can't swing , worth a rotten apple..This man was and is one of the Baddest, EVER...RIP Chuck..I miss you, terribly....I only hope one day I can bring a little something to smooth Jazz and honor , what you have given me.. Thank you for all your Blessed Talent...

You would walk by this guy and never know he was just a SUPERMAN of electric jazz guitar! Sadly for me, i didn't know that he passed away but the legacy he leaves behind is indeed a lasting one and his output will be with us for tens of generations to come... God take him up and let him rest outside of time for a bit then return him to life, to his craft and we'll take him in any shape ok? Thank you Chuck and please swing by the planet again....🌐🎸👁️✌️

He is one of the best musicians on the international music stage. One of the last giants coming from '70 & '80 generation of musicians. After them music has not the same depth, fantasy, freedom and quality.

That's a shame about The Firehouse closing...especially so abruptly. Anyway, this is the Chuck Loeb and Friends show, that featured one of the genre's best and most prolific guitar players plus saxophonist Andy Snitzer, bassist Gerald Veasley, and other top-flight musicians. No slouches here! Something to kick back, relax and unwind with! All you critics and experts...just shut up, turn it up, and ENJOY! ;-)

Who could watch and listen to this video and not become a Smooth Jazz fan if not already? Incredible!

[@J_David_Worthington_III]

Well said indeed!

[@TJKillip]

Since stumbling onto this amazing video a few years ago; I find myself going to it at least once a week or more- such a great live performance by all in the band... melancholy in knowing Chuck is gone and another nice Smooth Jazz venue gone too but I also discovered Andy Snitzer here and if we all keep supporting this genre any way we can it will continue on!
