Description
The Jeff Lorber Fusion, a musical entity so synonymous with fusion jazz that its name is redundant, continues its renaissance with Impact, out earlier this month. Since their last go around Prototype, Jeff Lorber earned his first Grammy — for that album — in the ‘Best Contemporary Instrumental’ category, which is his first win in eight nominations.Perhaps not surprisingly, Impact picks up right where Prototype left off, including carrying over a murderer’s row of session aces. Along with Lorber and Haslip, saxophonist Andy Snitzer is the other official member of JLF as before and go-to drummer Gary Novak all but is. And then there’s a small contingent of ace musicians making guest appearances, and Dave Mann’s snappy horn arrangements should not be discounted, either.
