Jeff Lorber Fusion - Bright Sky

from their fifth and last album Galaxian

[@differentgroove1]

As we know Jeff Lorber Did his first fusion album in years. I wish he did it with this group of musician. This in one of the tightest bands ever . I hope to see the original members play together again. That would be awsome, great post.

[@timothylawson3262]

This group of guys was just allsum.

[@tlaw8992]

OMG i was only cat in the 7th grade listening to this with my older brother he was a TRUE PLAYA everything with world was alright.

[@WynMills1]

Lucky enough to own this on vinyl.

[@timothylawson3262]

Me to bro, purchase in 81, brand new.

[@pistolpete961]

Cool. Great to hear. I saw Danny Wilson with JLF @ The Back Door at State, circa 1979. He kept it in "The Pocket" effortlessly!!

[@gaelsebastiani2198]

Favorite album: Wizard Island (Rooftops one of the best track ever recorded and with Chick Corea!), followed by Soft Space, Water Sign, Jeff Lorber Fusion First Album and the last one, Galaxian. On Galaxian, my fav track is ''Magic Lady'' but all this stuff is very good man!

[@da2rth]

brings back many memories livin in the 206 back in the 70s. thanks for sharing. :-)

[@efergarmx]

This music is like a vitamin for my body and soul.

[@mrbertiep1]

My band warmed up for JL Fusion right after this then album was released and they were awesome and very nice to us. Marlon McClain from the R&B group, Pleasure played guitar that night. Great show!! Saw JL again about 10 yrs. ago and spoke with him at length about the band and that night.

[@Saxmaster1230]

thanks 4 the comments....my fav track on the album

[@Tech470]

I saw them L.A. and Orange county back in the early 80's. They were "HOT", especially on this chart. I also love the group's previous release to this one, Wizard Island.

[@Jonathan94591]

Can't find this on CD. Jeff is always the man!!!!

[@HernanCARTOON]

Un dato: En Chile, este tema musical fue utilizado por Canal 13 para su anuncio publicitario de la marca "Esbelt".

[@darrellswinson4807]

Mr. Kenny G was a saxophonist guy in this group. It's so awesome.

[@victron6]

Classic JLF!! I saw them do this live in Berkeley, in 1979, and at the Oakland Paramont that same year. Thanks for posting Saxmaster1230!

[@lincolnhunt9558]

victron6 i got the vinyl album and from what i remember it said 1981, goes back further than i thought

[@JazzySaxE]

Aww man this song hits the spot! I needed this one! I love the melody and its so funky, it fills the soul.

[@MusicMatic707]

@2:12 has made me smile since I was a baby in the 80's.

[@jazzfusionbop]

Precision Funk 38 years later.

[@marvinkelley6339]

Great groove.

[@BenJamminBader]

A gem of an album on vinyl! Second up is soft space by JLF!

[@1963goldo]

this lp is for me the best of jeff lorber, i try to find some video on live ... if someone got it, i can buy !!!!!

[@mrbertiep1]

Everything was alright - I was in one of the best bands I ever played with and got to warm up Jeff Lorber, Lee Ritenour, Manhattan Transfer amongst others. I actually got talk with JL at length when he returned in the late 90's as a sideman for Eric Marienthal.

[@JazzySaxE]

gotta come back to listen to this! aaww man this track is hot

[@SleazysWonderland]

What a tune.

[@yaemiirei5022]

Love!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AndrewGorny]

I just saw danny wilson do his first gig since!!! he's amazing

[@fredblair8230]

had to look twice at that album cover

[@TonyExumJr]

YEAH!! I love this

2:28 love this moment; when the sax stays for a moment up and then goes down :D Jeeez

[@rambr0vids]

@jazzpsalti Thanks for the prompt reply - good to hear he's still with the music; great to hear in fact!

[@josephstratemeier8619]

Kenny G was the real deal back then!!

[@timothylawson3262]

Yes, back then.

[@jackie_merchant]

At Concert 1981 E NM University, Portalis NM while Station at Cannon AFB. 🌎

[@AndrewGorny]

@RAMBR0 Danny Wilson started playing again about a couple years ago. He was living in hometown Portland, OR, but now I believe he's moved to Pukalani, HI.

[@WynMills1]

Check out Lava Lands on Wizard Island. Both tracks kick @ss.

[@voluptasmea]

💙

[@majorgivens]

Masterful composition, makes you ask whatever happened to the real Jazzist who were able to fuse fuck with contempoary and make it work. I love these older Jeff Lorger cuts!

[@1smoothj]

The solos in this song are absolutely awesome especially the way Jeff ends his synth solo. I always wondered was that a prophet he is playing. Does anyone no for sure?

[@oholm09]

@1smoothj yeah it was prophet 5 polyphonic seq circuit synth

[@merchantsmithimages]

Yeah...My mother played this album or tape all the time when I was a kid. I always thought he was using a moog in his songs.

[@chilluminare]

Thx for posting... Please post Monster Man... Thx in advance...

[@Tech470]

Check out the old Kenny G on sax!

Donde esta Danny Wilson?

[@rambr0vids]

Makes you wonder who makes the selections doesn't it? All Jeff's best stuff is on Arista, so I don't see what the difficulty is in getting a true fans compilation together, This album along with others was re-released on Japanese import, but sadly out of print again and used copy prices have inflated to 3 digit $ numbers (check Amazon). I bought them all but some how this one and his first solo went missing after a relocation move!

[@ismaelllamas9226]

I just discovered this album at Good Will for $1.49

Does someone know, where I can download it in high quality?

[@timothylawson3262]

Yes

[@rambr0vids]

@jazzpsalti Danny' s still playing? With who? Where? You can';t just drop a nugget like that without back up info (even if the post was a year ago...lol)

[@danos1011]

is kenny G the sax player here?? He was great at funk and this type of music but ahhh.... he sold out to the soppy music and stopped developing ....pity...

[@harojack]

Yeah, that's that's Kenny G...at that time he was Kenny Gorelick. Kenny did up some playing back then. But I understand, he had a family to raise and bills to pay and you do what you gotta do to do that. I ain't mad "atcha" Kenny.
