Lizzy Loeb / Live Without You

All footage shot by Chuck Loeb. Love you forever, Dad.
My dad and I were taking a walk through the woods one afternoon late last fall, when he suggested, with the pure optimism he always radiated, that we just shoot a video for one of my songs ourselves. Right then, no excuses. He was not feeling himself because of the chemo and was easily tired, but his eyes lit up with the thought. We proceeded to imagine shots and execute them with the excitement of children. No makeup, no lights, just father and daughter equipped with some light technology and our beautiful, peaceful reservoir.
Everything, everything, everything, anything, every time was fun with my dad.
We finished it up the next day beneath the first snow of the season, eager to capitalize on the beauty. I've since edited it together and more or less had it done, but continued to pick and prod. Questioning my production choices, my vocal, my hair. Eventually I moved on to other things without putting it out there.
It would be a profound understatement to say he always encouraged me to put my music out there when I was trepidatious, or cool or a perfectionist. He simply believed in me with every fiber of his being.
So all I can do, now that I can't talk to him and hear his voice back, or sing a song to his perfect guitar, is savor the words and the memories and the anthology of pure magic in the form of music he left in his wake. Although I don't think I will ever feel whole again as long as I live, I can feel him by following his example and doing what he always did. He gave his good heart to the world, especially to his wife and his girls. Earnestly and completely.
So here it is, out there. just like he always told me to.
I love you forever Dad.

What a lovely music, Lizzy. I will never forget Chuck, his music introduced me to the Smooth Jazz, which I have been passionate about since 2012.

[@stephenbedford1395]

Lizzy, your dad had a big fan even as far away as here in Australia. I was devastated to hear of his death, in shock. He was one of my fave jazz guitarists, a big influence. Beautiful song, well done. the whole world will miss him.

[@aslanle]

Condolences from Turkey. Such a sad and early loss of an inspiring musician and teacher, one of the real good guys.

[@luiggidecaro1621]

Peace Lizzy. Chuck is still making music and here and now

[@shannonlcallihan]

Beautiful, Lizzy. You are hands down one of my favorite artists, and always will be.

[@rogergamon]

Beautiful video and music. Very sorry to hear of your loss Lizzy. Your dad really was one of the most consummate players of the electric guitar I've ever heard. His tone was always wonderful, his phrasing - a remarkable and inspiring musician. Along with so many others, I have spent many hours enjoying his beautiful music. Best wishes at this difficult time.

[@josephandersen6112]

I was devastated to learn about you father's passing Lizzy. But what a brilliant life well lived. His spirit must live on and thrive in worlds of light, worlds he has already brought to us here. You have so much of his unassuming brilliance that I saw in your solo show in Chexbres Switz. He must be so proud. Condolences to you and family.

[@MrCristienGossi]

Brillant. I am so sorry about your father. That was the first time that I really cry because a death of an artist. He will be in our hearts

[@julius700]

You're the luckiest daughter to have chuck as father We all miss him

[@rabbirelax]

Beautiful. The tribute concert in Reading last week was amazing. Your dad was loved, respected, and admired, by many. Peace to you and your family.

[@LKabilyo]

Lizzy, I had the great pleasure of seeing your father play when he was in Rhode Island with Fourplay. I've been to many, many concerts over the years, but this was a real treat. I was deeply saddened to hear of your father's passing. He was an extraordinary musician, and as a father myself, I will tell you he would be immensely proud of you.

[@dstrongcrowe432strong6]

An amazing musician, but brilliant composer in his own right, I first heard your father's playing through listening to his collaborative work with Mitchel Forman, Steps Ahead, and the late Stan Getz's Billy Highstreet Samba album It is simply a fact that there are not many artists that can really capture the moment and heartfelt intent of everything they play. But I find in Chuck Loeb's interpretation of anything written, he truly makes it his own, to the point to where you are hoping you will hear something solely written by him on any album he's contrIbuted to. More importantly, it is wonderful to be able to discern how beautiful a person is simply by hearing them sing through their musical instrument. Lizzy, I pray God will bring to you and your family His love, His peace, His comfort, His strength, His Truth and every precious moment with your dad to remembrance, especially during those times when it hurts the most(Revelation 21:4). I will always be thinking of His goodness and how He used your dad's tremendous gift to bring encouragement and inspiration to a wealth of musicians and listeners alike. With much love, honor and respect, Dean Strong

[@racerrep]

This brought tears to my eyes ... and your music, like Chuck's heart for you, is pure! Simply amazing as usual LL.

[@sharoncansler5524]

The day will come when you will smile and laugh again at the thought of your wonderful dad. The tears will eventually subside. If it helps, I had my dad for many yrs. He lived long enough to see grandkids, and greatgrandkids. No matter how young or old you may be, the passing of a parent is heart wrenching. I cried for three years. Now I can look at my dads picture, or recall the special things about him, and I'm at peace. I wish peace and joy for you and your family. God bless you.

[@gamutt1]

God Bless you and your family .

[@pampinno-topic70]

Lizzie, I feel the pain u going through. The loss of dad. We miss him so much but his musical contribution is immense. He was of good spirit. Even though we were far u could feel that he was a loving father. We continue to salute the maestro Chuck Loeb lives now in his music. John Phaleng from Pretoria, South Africa.

[@DJ.JAZZCRUSADER]

Very touching song and video, Lizzy. I miss your Father too. We met in person at a few concerts. An excellent musician and a wonderful Man in person. R.I.P. 🙏🏻 His music will be in my heart and on my radio forever! 💙

[@temp289]

Lizzy.... your Dad must have so very proud of you. Together you were an amazing team. Lots of good stuff for you to keep close to your heart. Stay strong. It will never get easy, but you will learn how to live with his memory.Please keep making music.

[@eddieramirezbass]

I'm really sorry for your loss, its painful , and it's difficult... I also appreciate this new song, but then again, I always dig what you do Lizzy, keep it up!

[@ToddiNorum]

Wonderful story. Great video. I played your Dad's music "The Music Inside" when I DJ'd for KTNT in Oklahoma City in the 90s....then I met your dad and your mom several times at Sculler's Jazz Club in Boston when I worked with Fred Taylor and Dayla Santurri. The Music is clearly inside you as well. :)

[@richardcosgrove94]

Wow! That's not only a terrific song & performance but, a profound memory of an amazing man Lizzy.

[@hartleygabolinscy3152]

❤️🎈🎈🎈❤️. 🌹🌹🌹. Best wishes Lizzy, and Chuck was a wonderful man. This shows in his music, his contibutions to others and dedication to his family. I always check back into his sites, just checking he’s still at it, still teaching and slogging away. Write some beautiful music Lizzy... and cherish. (New Zealand)

[@pivipivivu9957]

A beautiful memory of your dad, I'm in tears listening to and watching this, I miss his guitar tremendously. There's a hole in the music universe that cannot be filled. RIP to your Dad.

[@michelgarcia5606]

Hi Lizzy. I know today the dead of your lovely dad. I’ m feeling sad. I loved all his music, he was one of the best contemporary musicians around the world. I have for you, for your sister and your mom, my best wishes and I hope you are strong for to go away.

[@lizzyloeb]

Orio Menoni thank you for these words ❤️

[@happystance9able]

Lizzy! Your dad was awesome on this album: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJzaaIeDiqxlmtE "Petite Blonde" is one of my very favorites from the 90s. His solo from 6 and a half minutes onwards is so hot. He was so cool. That band was amazing and they only put out that one album.

[@ottopintiaski]

Your father was an amazing musician, an incredible guitarist. What a loss to the world, I really wish he was still with us. Your words brought tears to my eyes. His music will live forever.

Very Sad Sorry for your loss he was for me big musician

[@bobbyyoung4243]

Lizzy that is a beautiful tribute to your dad he was such a class act and one of the best guitarist of all time. Rip chuck

[@stephenbertino8373]

I'm so sorry, Lizzy. My condolences go to you and your family. I just heard Chick Corea's Elektric Band play last night at Wolf Trap and was looking around for reviews. Herbie Hancock's upcoming appearance at the Kennedy Center was headlined some place and below that was the news of your dad's passing. Saw his kids listed and just looked you up on a whim. I see you singing with Eric and your dad now in the side bar. Small world. About that pain: What you've got to deal with now is a cruel amputation and the phantom pains that come with it. That's what the pains are. It's just like your leg is gone but the nerve endings are still there. I'm just laying it out plainly like that to make sure you know it. Maybe the recognition of what the pain is can make it somehow more bearable. My own dad was about the same age when I lost him to cancer too. Also: Look for signs. Odd coincidences. Mysterious relationships. For example: It's so weird to be writing this after seeing my musical "daddy" exit the stage with a bounce in his step playing a happy little tune on his keytar after I finally got to hear his Elektric Band live for the first and maybe only time. 3:48 Wow! Your dad's voice was similar to Chick's too. (both were tenors) That's atonal music to your ears, isn't it? On his Solo Piano Portraits cd, Chick left his voice in the portrait he made of me because he knew that would be atonal birthday music to my ears as well. Amazing! CIRCLE of life. see video :CIRCLE Live 1971 (Anthony Braxton, Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Barry Altschul)

[@stephenbertino8373]

Loeb said. “Dylan turned to me after one solo and said, ‘Yeah, Chuck,’ and I thought, ‘OK, I can die now!’ ” I have felt like that.

[@lizzyloeb]

Thank you Stephen. It's comforting to read your words.A ll my best to you
