The multitalented performer \/ writer \/ producer&#8217;s newest release <em>Philly Style<\/em> was inspired by a number of converging facts&#8230; It&#8217;s Lorber&#8217;s hometown. Album co-producer <b>Steve Dubin<\/b> also hails from Philly as does the drummer <b>&#8220;Little&#8221; John Roberts<\/b>. Roberts uses his own brand of drumsticks that he calls &#8220;Philly Style&#8221;. Lorber wrote or collaborated on nine of the ten songs, including the funky <i>Gigabyte<\/i> which is to be released as the first radio single. Also of interest is Lorber&#8217;s cover version of The Goodie Mob&#8217;s <em>Soul Food<\/em> on which <strong>Gary Meek<\/strong> serves up some sweet and soulful sax and <strong>Naila<\/strong> croons the sumptuous chorus.  <\/p>\n<p>  Although the release does not present anything startlingly new from the smooth jazz guru, it delivers the quality and enjoyment that you <em>expect<\/em> from Lorber CD&#8217;s. Joined by <strong>Richard Elliot<\/strong> and <strong>Robbie Nevil<\/strong>, Jeff successfully captures the &#8220;Philly&#8221; sound and ingrains it with some of the familiar &#8220;Lorber&#8221; free and funky style we know (and love). Jeff continues to show his chops on each successive release, always pleasing and managing not to fall into any of the &#8216;ruts&#8217; that some smooth jazz artists seem to love so much.                 <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><cfinclude template=\"adbanner.asp\"><?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/cfinclude><\/font><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philly Style Jeff Lorber(Narada Jazz &#8211; 2003) by Ray Redmond<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3622\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
