You also need to know that these folks do not make up his regular band or group. There are a combo of artists in their own right/name or great session players who tour/gig it up with the best of the smooth jazz artistry, like Mr. Lorber. The sax player has performed with just about any/all names/bands in smooth jazz and Sonny, the percussionist, used to play regularly on gigs around the globe with Lee Ritenour. Just outstanding musical chops by all of them.

The Jeff Lorber fusion slapped me in the face late 70s early 80s when I lived for the weekend, and the jazz funk-jazz fusion scene at Scamps night club Leicester, England. We were way ahead of the pack. Funk, fusion and Latin jazz all Dayers in Notts, the northern soul crews upstairs on the big dance floor, jazz crews downstairs with more of a club feel. So many cool people and amazing dancers.

And all these people saying Kenny G is vapid & soulless. They wouldn't say that if they had heard him, as I did at the Roxy, w/ Lorber in the 70s. They blew the roof off the place. Absolutely sensational!! And Kenny Gorelick was the original saxophonist on the records on all these tunes that Eric The Great is now playing!

Sonny's not just a great drummer but also quite the joker. Saw him in Montreal some years ago, very friendly fellow. Unfortunately I forgot to ask him where he's picked that "majorette" trick with his sticks that doesn't look easy at all. Only other drummer I knew of that did that routinely without ever dropping a stick was the late drumming legend Neil Peart. Being compared with the best of the best is befitting of Sonny. I regard the gigs he does with Lee Ritenour (most of the time with Dave Grusin) as the best ones, Ritenour has the knack for drawing talent from those who have the most to offer. It's also obvious that the feeling of respect is mutual between those two.

I really miss the amazing Danny Wilson, bass player supreme!!! What happened to him???
