JEFF LORBER | THURS & FRI NOV 20 & 21 | SHOWTIMES VARY BY DAY | PRESENTED BY THE UNSCRIPTED JAZZ SERIES

Keyboardist Jeff Lorber started out like most successful musicians do, as a fan. Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock being two of his earliest inspirations. To figure out how to play like his heroes, he had to go back and study the history of jazz piano where he discovered Wynton Kelly, Thelonious Monk, McCoy Tyner, Red Garland, Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and many more. Combine that with his love of Funk and R&B, and you get one of the most storied careers in modern Jazz history.

A Philadelphia native,  after six previous nominations, Lorber won his first Grammy Award on January 28, 2018 for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album for Prototype by his band the Jeff Lorber Fusion.
