CHUCK LOEB

[@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.

[@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 🙏 ❤️

[@davidgerald2634]

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

[@drums2go615]

Is that drummer Mike mecalco ?

[@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.

[@Nicolae8607]

Thx for sharing. I am guitarist and I play metal..but when I heard the song FYI I was😮 I now everyday I listen to his music He is my favorite guitarist now R.I.P

[@prabyor]

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

[@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.

[@arjunsajeev]

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

[@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.

[@bassiclogic]

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

[@southtxblues]

Mine too

[@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.

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

[@bluenote335]

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

[@Egard1]

Totally true

[@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.

[@carolineward5153]

We live in a world of rock based music and pop i hate it. I only like smoth sounds, i am alone in a population that doesn't understand me

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.

[@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.

You would walk by this guy and never know he was just a SUPERMAN of electric jazz guitar!

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....🌐🎸👁️✌️
