The exceptionally talented Jazz artist Jeff Lorber has released him CD entitled Philly Style. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Jeff Lorber fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Philly Style Jeff Lorber’s artistic excellence is on full display as Lorber has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

The nice thing about FENDER JAZZ ( GEDDY LEE ) !!!!!! AWESOME a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Jazz isn’t your favorite style you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

Philly Style is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. It’s quite simply great listening. A must buy if you’re even mildly into Jazz music.

While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 3 – Regardless Of, track 9 – When She Smiles, and track 10 – Serpentine Lane.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Under Wraps. Good stuff!
