Editorial Reviews

2012 album from the trail-blazing keyboardist, composer and producer. On Galaxy, Jeff Lorber revisits a sound he helped pioneer. Following up on his Grammy-nominated 2010 release, Now Is The Time, Lorber again culls from his early catalog but gives a fresh approach to some of his most highly requested compositions, including "Wizard Island," "City," "The Samba" and "The Underground." Galaxy spotlights 11 originals - all instrumentals - that cover the scope of electrified Jazz. Yellowjackets' bassist Jimmy Haslip joins him in this 21st century version of the Jeff Lorber Fusion along with saxophonist Eric Marienthal, trumpeter Randy Brecker, percussionist Lenny Castro, guitarists Paul Jackson Jr. and Larry Koonse, and drummers Vinnie Colaiuta and Dave Weckl.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Contemporary Jazz/Fusion Album November 14, 2012
Format:Audio CD
I think some reviewers here are getting too caught up in superficial aspects of the production and audio presentation of the album and concluding that it's "too smooth" for fusion. In reality this is a great modern fusion album in very much the same vein as Lorber's early fusion work. Sure, the instruments are more sophisticated and the production is well, more digital, this music is still a direct descendant of the stuff you'll hear on the original Jeff Lorber Fusion album from 1977. While you could argue whether this is "smooth jazz", "fusion", or whatever they're calling it these days, if you're a fan of Lorber's early work and you give this album an honest listen you'll probably end up digging it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Always creative and enjoyable February 5, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have enjoyed Jeff Lorber's music since he first appeared on the scene in the late 1970s. Lorber seems to understand better than most contemporary jazz artists as to what sounds good and is musically intersting at the same time. My foundation is in bop but I like practically everything Lorber's done and Galaxy is no exception. I particulalry like his habit of going back and re-visiting some of his older tunes and puting "a fresh coat of paint" on them with interesting results. In this case he did that with "City" and "Wizard Island" and I like both renditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars By far the best Jeff Lorber CD ever February 20, 2013
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I don't have much time so I'll make this quick. I've had this CD in my car every day for two months now, and I still can't bear to take it out and play something else. I've been a fan of Jeff Lorber since his very first album, and I have to say, this is by far THE BEST work Jeff has ever done. But I hasten to add that the OTHER musicians on this CD are such monsters, you'd expect this to be great. Back to Jeff, though, he is more musical now than he has ever been, and he brings to this CD a wide range of absolutely beautiful keyboard sounds, including of course the best Dyno Rhodes sound one can get, and he plays so beautifully: the solos are amazing, the comp'ing equally so, and the COMPOSITION of this music is so rich. One doesn't quickly tire of this CD, on the contrary it takes one over, demanding to be heard over and over again.
