Jeff Lorber Fusion Trio with Michael Thompson #1

[@cmpoole]

Hats off to the gangster who pointed his camera directly at the ABSOLUTELY NO RECORDING sign and captured this magic.

[@voxmaster7961]

Michael Thompson - have to create a new word to describe him. It‘s more than a master, such a tasteful playing!

[@stanmcclure229]

Lorber is my favorite fusion artist.

Ouch! These cats are sharp as ginsu knifes ( Jimmy Haslip's bass work is beyond brilliant )

[@jcserrano1663]

MT is a Monster Legend Guitar Player, it's so nice to see Gary because I met him back in 1990 playing with Chick Correa in Connecticut. He is a very COOL CAT, I never forget that my little brother couldn't make it and he took one set of sticks and signed em and he still have em, LOL, 👍👍😍😍😍😄😄😄🤗🤗🤗

[@drcoolfinger]

"Rain Song" I'd love to see both Michael and Eric with these three at the Potato one evening..... Justin, hook it up!

[@MrTkeddo]

I would love to see the OG line up with Danny Wilson and Kenny G.

[@davidsims5533]

[@codysimpson5522]

Because of Gary, everyone left that night without a face...

[@salinasbeat]

I like the sign that prohibits filming

[@RATCLIFFE-LISTENS]

Lorber has hung with musicians all his life and close to Steve Lukather I they were neighbor hood Pals. A School Dance with those two Monsters directing traffiic.Michael

[@RATCLIFFE-LISTENS]

[@ericwilhelm2941]

Brother Jeff , play your Rhodes !!!!

[@ewaldnickl8866]

what is the name of this song on which cd ??

[@juneniemann391]

Rain Dance a much stolen masterpiece by rappers. The album came out in 1979 when i first heard it.

[@nohaste4me]

Novaks in tha house!!!

[@Jimcountermusicdotcom]

Was that Steve Smith on drums?

[@JamesZotaBaker]

That's Gary Novak

[@jamesplasencia]

anyone know the name of this song?

[@edennard1]

james plasencia Rain Dance

[@dinger7608]

While A.H. passed

[@unknownbone174]

I was just thinking that, that was just days before this performance...

[@Eduaro2U]

Hmmmm...... Mike's a bit out of his depth here I think.

[@jamesplasencia]

Hi Edward, when you say Mike's out of his depth can you tell me what you are listening for? my ears are still in the process of learning what to listen for in terms of a players ability...in other words I think he sounds good to me...

[@lorenzmuller3542]

The only thing I hear is that he obviously has a different time in his head than the others.

[@BenFletcherGuitar]

@@jamesplasencia I think he means he seems to lack a bit of the harmonic complexity of some of the other guys in this video, in terms of lead work. Nothing wrong with what he's playing at all. Hey they asked him to do the gig, they wouldn't have done that if they didn't like what he has to say, it's not like there's a shortage of great players where they are!

[@jamesplasencia]

@@BenFletcherGuitar now that revisited this video i hear more of a rock approach from Mike the guitarist a more pentatonic and blues scales sound some outside playing not a lot...i think someone like a Frank Gambale would have taken a more fusion approach...

[@BenFletcherGuitar]

@@jamesplasencia Absolutely, Frank is a monster player! Because you mentioned him, I just had a look to see if he'd played with Jimmy Haslip and incredibly I couldn't find anything. I did find this though, which is the same venue and again with Novak on drums...kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4KaZHV-rMaDfrc Certainly illustrates that different approach!

[@gimmeagig]

I wish bass players would stop singing along with their solos. So many of them are doing that these days. I believe they might be trying to show that they are playing what they are hearing in their head and not just running patterns. But it's a total distraction to me unless you can actually sing like Richard Bona.... don't do it.It doesn't make your solo sound any better Jimmy Haslip of all people ...I don't think he used to do that, why now?

[@jonathonmcmillan9410]

Why now? Just to bother The Internets who have nothing better to do than be bothered by anything and everything.

[@gregsmith8001]

I agree with your sentiment. These vocal noises are deemed to convey intensity and seriousness of purpose. In fact, they are an indication of fashion following, and are utterly contrived.

[@joshhawkinsguitar]

@@gregsmith8001 you're both so completely wrong about this, it's called audiation...

[@SA_SovereigntyForPatriots]

Hate to say this, but many pianists do and did this from Bud Powell to Keith Jarret and of course, George Benson turned it into an artform....Just sayin'.
