[@markjames4317]

Nathan East - it's is my hope you produce something of you Bob, and Harvey - with Mr Loeb. We come this way once and if we can delight a world so much in pain as you guys have then you are blessed - so Mr East bless us so Thant we may remember a soul such as Charles Loeb

[@CiroVilla]

Legends like Chuck Loeb and Nathan East are rare, few and far between....Outstanding musicians and fantastic human beings...

[@yannickmickaelmarquesmacie1819]

Restez in peace chuck missing you forever

[@gdefombelle]

Beautiful words Mr East

[@oriomenoni7651]

I am so glad that I saw you and Chuck and Bob and Harvey performing in 2015, I was quite in a trouble but I couldn't ever miss that concert for the life of me, and I didn't - and so that will be the only time i could see the four of you together, but there's been that one time and this proves again that nothing is granted on this earth, every day is unique and worth living and every occasion must not be missed in order not to be regretted. I look forward to see Fourplay again the next time you'll come to Italy. Peace and Love.

[@williampinner1893]

Heart warming. Had the honour off performing with Chuck in the mid 90's. I was drumming with Nelson Rangel with Mel Brown on bass. It was a highlight of my life. I hope to play with him again in heaven. I remember he pulled me off stage and had me play brushes on a newspaper at a table for some folks at the club. We connected musically him and I. He was smiling at me while we did this jazz standard, him on guitar and me on a news paper with brushes. Tearing up thinking about it. Thanks Chuck. Nelson told me he was happy with me backing him up. Positive feelings from Chuck makes me happy even after all this time. God bless Cuck and his family. Peace to all. William Tell Pinner III

RIP Chuck Loeb - thank you for sharing your musical talent and music to the world - like us in South Africa. My personal favourite song - The Music Inside is an all time classic. Our condolences to his family - let your tunes reside 'inside' those who appreciate good music -love from RSA.

[@ericpreusser8450]

A beautiful tribute to, Chuck by, Pat. I've known, Chuck, there is no one sweeter!

[@smoothjazzbydjrokketto5082]

It's been a few days since I discover all the beatiful CD that Chuck made in his career...To me before Chuck was just one of the members of Fourplay ..I listen to quite a few Jazz artists...and ...it was such a pleasure to hear in just 1 day of 5-6 whole albums made by Chuck !...Since the first note..many emotions...his music captured me straight away.... I know that Chuck left us just about 1 year ago...It was also so nice and heartbreaking to discover this video shared on Ytube by his wife Carmen & Chris and Lizzy....So.......emotional to see how they shared in public such intimate moments of their lives...Nothing much to add....JUst thanks to Chuck and his beautiful life and family...for all the music he made and left us....Music sometimes can mean little or so much for many people around the world....thanks again ..evrybody.....keep best music in your hearts...and meet y someday somewhere...AGAIN.....! Rocco from Napoli , Italy

[@geraldveasley3368]

Carmen, Christina and Lizzy, I'm so grateful for the gift of knowing Chuck. What a treasure. He made the world more beautiful with his music and his heart. Thank you for sharing him with us. Much love to you.

[@66bighorns]

R.I.P. Chuck. And Pat's performance here is incredibly deep. Beautiful.

[@iancraig5471]

Back in the 90s my dad got me hooked on contemporary jazz. The staples of my collection were fourplay, Russ freeman and the rippingtons, and Chuck Loeb among others. One night, in the early 00s, after a benefit concert, my dad got to sit and have cocktail and bs with Chuck Loeb. My dad said, they talked about many things one of which was my college radio show. ( I was the only kid doing a Smooth jazz show.) My dad said Chuck was intrigued by this and signed a copy of "in a heartbeat" with a note wishing me well with my radio show. I was over the moon to receive it. My dad told me about what a great guy he was. Rip Chuck Loeb. You touched so many with your music.

[@leroyusa935]

Chuck your music brought me into a world of tranquility and the meaning of love for humanity and God. When I listen to your guitar I'm at peace with myself and the world even with the everyday turmoil and chaos that plagues mankind. Thank you for these special moments that I cherish the most.

[@constancereed2796]

My heart cried when I realize he had passed, but he left an amazing legacy of beautiful music that no other guitarist could give the softness of his style . Why does such genius are not appreciated and given their true praise until they are no longer here among us . Rest

[@TheCybertiger9]

Thanks Chuck for all the music you brought to the world. It made it a better place to live.

[@greghiggins3391]

To truly love someone is a precious gift .God only knows, the world is just not thesame without Chuck Loeb.

[@dasaos]

Really a beautiful video to remember the great Chuck Loeb fill my eyes with tears to see so many beautiful images master will always live in each of your songs

[@valinurrafikov]

Я не знал его лично,но всегда слушал его музыку.Мне очень нравилось.И мне кажется Он был хорошим Человеком!!!

[@MrBriancall1]

Beautiful tribute, Rest In Peace Chuck, you will not be forgotten 😞

[@aregdilanian819]

Great composer, musician, collaborator. One of the most productive and hard working musicians, with truly “Music Inside”. Above all great human being and family man. So yearly and so unfair. God bless your soul Mr. Chuck Loeb!

[@GabrielCsaba]

Beauty is what Chuck toiled at and it's clear that beauty is what he left behind on this plane. Sorely missed and deeply cherished. Thank you Carmen, Christina and Lizzy.

[@michaelb59]

Thanks for the beautiful music and all the pleasure you gave us. You'll be missed by many. RIP Chuck.

[@guitar-tsg]

He was the best guitarist and composer in the world, and I'm sure he was also the best father. May he rest in peace.

[@topgun6981]

Just found out he passed back in 2017. Married life and kids stopped me from keeping up with jazz as a whole for 15 years. Big fan and watched him in concert in Boston at scullers jazz club. Signed 2 of his albums I had bought. Rest easy Chuck 🙏 a true gem 💎 🫶🏾👊🏾🎼🎶🎺

[@frederickgolden6694]

We lost a virtual giant of jazz guitar for his generation and a foundational builder of what we now call the "Smooth jazz" idiom and part of America's only true musical invention, one that's served to unify all sectors of the human species and connect with the spirits of so many from different backgrounds. That's what Chuck Loeb helped to create and whole there are thousands of world-class guitarists in this world, many who possess equal or even superior chops, only one in my mind could put that unique "NEW YORK" touch on anything he chose to play, a distinct and instantly recognizable flavor as either a lead instrument or in the background, you knew who it was, it was the man himself, making any song his own and having a great time with his audience as he did it....😏 That was what Chuck Loeb put on the musical table every time he opened his guitar case and plugged in. Thank you sir for the great work you put in and the wonderful collaborations with other great musicians, your legacy will live on for lifetimes to come, goodbye and job well done!👍👁️✨🎸🎶🌌😇

[@navintheyagaraj9540]

3yrs back, for the first time I heard Chuck's album with Eric Marianthal and just got sucked into the passion of Chuck's playing, and only to find out that he had passed on. The grief has never left me. But there's such beauty in revisiting the grief. Thanks for sharing this....

[@RobertVeasquez]

Such a loving tribute! Chucks legacy lives on. For new generations to behold the beauty this man shared.

[@stephenleathley3895]

I studied with Chuck for two years at ArtistWorks. I never met him face to face but the videos he exchanged with me are treasured memories. He was a beautiful exponent of the guitar; a gifted teacher with a flawless technique. What I remember most though, was the courtesy and respect he afforded his pupils, revealing a true generosity of spirit. I'm not in the least embarrassed to say I cried when we lost him. It came as a shock as I was not aware he was ill. To put it as simply and as humbly as I can, I liked the world much better when Chuck Loeb was in it.

[@maryrodger5130]

This was so beautifully done in memory of Chuck.

[@TheStandupGuy1]

I have been listening to him since i was 16 years old and i am 38. I own every album that he put out. Straight A's the song on one of his albums he made in 1991 changed my life. I will listen to your music when I am sad and I wil listen when I am happy. RIP to the best smooth jazz player that ever did it. I love you Chuck! You will ALWAYS be the best! I will never stop listening to you!!

[@bobcathey8903]

I have been quite familiar with musical artists like Chuch Loeb for a long time. As I approach my 65 birthday, I have become even more familiar with musical artists like Chuck Loeb. The sad part is that I did not follow these musicians more closely before their passing as I do now. This is true with guitarists like Jeff Beck, who I started following in the 80's. There are many other musicians who have passed who have left an incredible legacy. I only hope there are other people out there that enjoy their music as I continue to do. This video is an incredible tribute to Chuck and his family. Thank you for the music Chuck!

[@ivanganassali4748]

Grande chitarrista, bellissime melodie… fantastico tributo di Pat! RIP

[@jerzeykowboy9425]

That was beautiful. Carmen,I am so sorry for your loss.Loved your musical collaborations and miss them. You were both blessed to have found each other.

[@donharder2737]

I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck @ Soiled Dove Underground Denver like 2010-11?? with Eric Marienthal and Earl Klugh... he seen the sheer excitement in my face and said "Thanks for coming"...I said "Ya.....Forever Remembered......

[@Mado4384]

I come back to this every so often to remember Chuck (this makes me tear up a little each time). Sadly I only discovered him with Fourplay, so really Thank you for this!!!

[@daniisfanay9362]

Spent the day listening to you Chuck. You still the man for 4 on strings.

Beautiful video. Images of a great story, Chuck: the son, the brother, the kid, the friend, a beloved husband and father. Mr. Loeb, you mean so much for a lot people. We miss you so much. You crossed a long highway in the world of the jazz. Thanks for make the jazz much better. Your magic hands are resting, you only are sleeping a little. Please wake up soon, don't late. We are waiting for you. With love and admiration from a fan in México, Jesús Enrique.

[@chironjo]

Being a great family is to have lived a fulfilled life, which through these pictures you can tell Chuck did. He topped it with this inmense talent that he was blessed to be able to share with millions all over the world. RIP, from Puerto Rico.

[@charleshoernemann8661]

What a great tribute to one of my all-time favourite musicians - not only a fantastic guitarist, producer, composer, arranger, educator...but also a person of good taste with a great sense of humour, a family man and...animal lover. I am so happy to have the the book "The Best of Chuck Loeb", it's been with me for many years now and makes me aware how much of an influence you and your music had on me...thank you for that, Mr. Loeb!

Amazing , Incredible family ,i'm speachless R.I.P Chuck

[@AmericanRiverProperties]

I have been deeply affected by the loss of this man... more than I can explain. We are not personal friends, although I admired his talent greatly and felt that we could have been very easily. We never crossed paths musically, though I would have loved to play with and learn from this man over the many years we shared in common. My deepest sympathies for his wife and children and my heartfelt thanks for this wonderful tribute to a man who, by all indications, was taken much to early!

[@aladdinsmith3469]

So Chuck Loeb has gone with his guitar to a more better place to rest.I recall some time back hearing his familiar tune always played on Utube I was compelled to comment on he's pretty good and Chuck was, no sorry Chuck you are among the best .Any time an artist of music get that call their talent is needed elsewhere its nothing I can do but wait my turn to get to see them again but until then I 'll settle with their music they left us with. Chuck Loeb r.i.p.

[@lisag5551]

Dear Carmen, Christina, and Lizzy: Such a beautiful way to honor your loved one. I have been so sad since the news, and tears streaming as I watch this and listen to the gorgeous tunes. He was one of my favs in smooth jazz. We are all missing Chuck with you, but you are missing him the most, and words are not enough I know. But, I hope that you, the ones he loved most, will find some comfort in the love and prayers we send your way. Hold on to the memories dears, his love for you will never die... Blessings and peace. Lisa

[@rodolfofonseca-larios5176]

Everybody who have the privilege to listen and admire this great man and musician, will be sad because of his recent departure; however there will be also a deep feeling of happiness and confort, thanks to all the love and sincere friendship, he could harvest around him for being such an admirable man in all senses.... God bless You Chuck.... Peace....

[@Bushmaster10MM]

I was fortunate enough to have seen Chuck Loeb perform with Fourplay at the Blue note. It was magical, as was his work individually. I also was at the club when his tribute show was given. His family was introduced and i truly felt connected with them through my love of his work. Chuck Loeb's works are played often on my devices. Mr Chuck Loeb has an indelible place in my psyche that cannot be replaced or removed. Blessings to all...JB

[@chafrewilcha]

I've loved music, especially the guitar & of course the music of Chuck Loeb. What a deep & beautiful & soulful spirit! I will miss him. As for this video, it left me speechless & with a big lump in my throat... so well done!! The photographs captured a part of this life, that I was not aware of - his family, that obviously influenced the quality & richness of his music. His creative life, as well as the life of so many other human beings, so thoroughly prove to me, again & again, that we are here to create. We are at our best when we manifest beautiful vibrations, with whatever powers we have. (...that is enought...)

[@bobbybush5030]

I am so grateful for having the blessing of getting to meet and talk to you at the Birchmere in Virginia after your first show with Fourplay! I love your smile and reaction to my telling you the story of my wife and I driving somewhere and hearing the new release of Fourplay and as the song starts, I look at my wife and say "that's Chuck Loeb on guitar!". And you know what, it was! How I miss hearing you play, whether standards or smooth jazz. You were always such an inspiration to me, even as a bassist. Even now, when I want to be inspired by a true master, I click on one of your songs, close my eyes and smile. RIP Chuck. You will always be missed.

Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to see Chuck perform live and in person. He was my absolute favorite Smooth Jazz G man. What an amazing talent, words cannot truely describe. His ability to transfer his soul through his guitar is unparalleled. We have all been blessed having heard this beautiful person through his music. Thank you Carmen, Christina, and Lizzy.

[@michelletaylore7111]

When my career was just starting I had the pleasure of working with Chuck at 39th street music doing jingles, he was a breath of fresh air, a real gentleman and a great talent. It's so sad when the good ones go, my heart and prayers go out to the family.

[@giuseppecatoni7921]

Ciao Chuck, ho appreso solo oggi che te ne sei andato...proprio quando ti ho cercato perché avevo voglia di un tuo nuovo disco. Grazie per ogni singola nota che mi hai regalato, delle melodie che hai creato, di come accarezzavi la tua chitarra. Grazie per tutti i tuoi progetti musicali, da quelli solistici, in cui hai saputo regalare brani stupendi e ariosi, a quelli in gruppo, Steps Ahead, Metro e Fourplay in cui hai saputo regalare un modo meraviglioso di suonare la chitarra, in cui il virtuosismo e la tecnica da vero gigante del jazz ci hanno donato pagine musicali bellissime, senza tuttavia smarrire mai quel gusto musicale sublime e gentile che ti ha sempre contraddistinto. Thank you for your “Magic Fingers” for your "Simple Things" for your "...Music Inside" with your “Balance” and “Life Colors”: "When I'm With You", with your "Presence" I will never be alone.

[@karelweyn9334]

Sie waren ein guter Mensch und ein wunderbarer Musiker. I will allways keep you in my heart. Love to you and to Carmen. Your music is still making this world a little better every day.

[@garymclaughlin7270]

What a beautiful soul what kind of a person does it take to make such beautiful notes over and over and over again and you never get tired of listening to the beauty that came out of that man

[@MatthewMaranan]

Back during my college years, I used to listen to a lot of a local college radio station called KSPC. In the morning they would have a show dedicated to jazz/funk/etc, I remember driving to school, turning on the radio and hearing these awesome riffs being played. That song was 'Absynth Blues' by Metro, being a guitarist myself I promptly looked for that album and ordered it from Mitchel Forman along with the sheet music to the album Express. The solo to the song Express was so incredible to me, til this day I study the lines and enjoy it. I even remember adding Chuck on Facebook and telling him how much I loved that solo, which I got a very humble response of: "Thanks so much.... I got lucky on that one...." Music helped me a lot throughout my life, some of the worst days can become great days with the right music that hits your soul.I hope the family finds peace and comfort knowing that so many people enjoyed the music he created, RIP!
