Thank you Jeff Lorber, this dude and his fusion got me thru a lot of college days and nights. Listening while studying.

[@piano77man77]

Definitely my favorite on this album. Whenever I listen to this song, I feel like I am right on the Gulf shore of the Ft. Myers, FL area. Bright sun, hot and balmy weather; palm trees of many kinds, and exquisite sounding birds. Also, beautiful roads that are actually enjoyable to drive on.

I first heard this on the radio jazz station back in the 80s, I called the station for the name of the artist and I made a beeline to Tower Records and found that album which I still have today in top condition and no scratches

Love this song. So peaceful. I played it over and over studying while in medicine school.

[@seadawgg65]

ahhh.....Kenny Gorelick on woodwinds, b 4 he became "Kenny G"....wish he and Jeff would collaborate on some new, "old school Jazz Fusion" like this excellent cut! This is music!

[@dwaynediggs]

The Godfather of Fusion, Jeff Lorber......great memories and this genre.....the bomb!

[@TonyExumJr]

I remember learning this song note for note in high school. Mom used to tell she always knew when I was sad because I would always practice this song.

[@dmcarden]

Used to have this cassette.. sigh.. so long ago..

a favorite of my beloved Late wife Mary Ladiana

[@seadawgg65]

Jazz Fusion @ its best. Nostalgic, song from my childhood, reminds me especially of Oaktown and the old Crocker Highlands/Lakeshore 'hood. A song 2 play @ my furneral/memorial service...if anyone has one 4 me!....

[@TLDavis1230]

Yo, I remember this one from back in the day. You are forever tapping into my memory cap. Thanks for posting this underrated jazz piece by the great Jeff Lorber!!

[@randydulaney6497]

[@bronze139]

jeff lorber above the clouds is the best produced track he's made

[@heartathesun]

Who would have guessed where the sax player Kenny G(orelick) would end up!

[@Saxmaster1230]

Thanks for the comments. Appreciate it

[@juneniemann391]

[@MrAljean6]

@piano77man77 my memories are the exact same, except I was in Pensacola, white sand, lovely days...

Kenny really did his thing on this track. No disrespect to George, Najee, BJ (Boney James) and Grover but he couldn't be touched back in these days lol. Hard to believe this song came out back in 1982 (I was born in 87 lol) and this is what I call silky smooth jazz with a twist of funk fusion and soul. Why they don't play these songs on the radio is beyond me. But I'll love to see Jeff Lorber and Kenny G perform this song live in concert one day. I will literally pay front row seats to see this instead of some fake ass hip hop fest being called a funk fest lol

[@deannaganz1851]

Tune in the Yacht Rock Show on itunes Spotify google Podcasts
