Heart warming. Had the honour off performing with Chuck in the mid 90's. I was drumming with Nelson Rangel with Mel Brown on bass. It was a highlight of my life. I hope to play with him again in heaven. I remember he pulled me off stage and had me play brushes on a newspaper at a table for some folks at the club. We connected musically him and I. He was smiling at me while we did this jazz standard, him on guitar and me on a news paper with brushes. Tearing up thinking about it. Thanks Chuck. Nelson told me he was happy with me backing him up. Positive feelings from Chuck makes me happy even after all this time. God bless Cuck and his family. Peace to all. William Tell Pinner III

I love and miss you Chuck, rest in Heavenly peace my dear brother until we meet again

Just found out he passed back in 2017. Married life and kids stopped me from keeping up with jazz as a whole for 15 years. Big fan and watched him in concert in Boston at scullers jazz club. Signed 2 of his albums I had bought. Rest easy Chuck 🙏 a true gem 💎 🫶🏾👊🏾🎼🎶🎺

Spent the day listening to you Chuck. You still the man for 4 on strings.

Я не знал его лично,но всегда слушал его музыку.Мне очень нравилось.И мне кажется Он был хорошим Человеком!!!

RIP Chuck Loeb - thank you for sharing your musical talent and music to the world - like us in South Africa. My personal favourite song - The Music Inside is an all time classic. Our condolences to his family - let your tunes reside 'inside' those who appreciate good music -love from RSA.

What a beautiful soul what kind of a person does it take to make such beautiful notes over and over and over again and you never get tired of listening to the beauty that came out of that man

A beautiful tribute to, Chuck by, Pat. I've known, Chuck, there is no one sweeter!

Thanks Chuck for all the music you brought to the world. It made it a better place to live.

My heart cried when I realize he had passed, but he left an amazing legacy of beautiful music that no other guitarist could give the softness of his style . Why does such genius are not appreciated and given their true praise until they are no longer here among us . Rest

To truly love someone is a precious gift .God only knows, the world is just not thesame without Chuck Loeb.

I am so grateful for having the blessing of getting to meet and talk to you at the Birchmere in Virginia after your first show with Fourplay! I love your smile and reaction to my telling you the story of my wife and I driving somewhere and hearing the new release of Fourplay and as the song starts, I look at my wife and say "that's Chuck Loeb on guitar!". And you know what, it was! How I miss hearing you play, whether standards or smooth jazz. You were always such an inspiration to me, even as a bassist. Even now, when I want to be inspired by a true master, I click on one of your songs, close my eyes and smile. RIP Chuck. You will always be missed.

RIP Mr. Loeb, your music has always been fantastic. Thank you for leaving it with us.

Chuck your music brought me into a world of tranquility and the meaning of love for humanity and God. When I listen to your guitar I'm at peace with myself and the world even with the everyday turmoil and chaos that plagues mankind. Thank you for these special moments that I cherish the most.

Beauty is what Chuck toiled at and it's clear that beauty is what he left behind on this plane. Sorely missed and deeply cherished. Thank you Carmen, Christina and Lizzy.

Carmen, Christina and Lizzy, I'm so grateful for the gift of knowing Chuck. What a treasure. He made the world more beautiful with his music and his heart. Thank you for sharing him with us. Much love to you.

It's been a few days since I discover all the beatiful CD that Chuck made in his career...To me before Chuck was just one of the members of Fourplay ..I listen to quite a few Jazz artists...and ...it was such a pleasure to hear in just 1 day of 5-6 whole albums made by Chuck !...Since the first note..many emotions...his music captured me straight away.... I know that Chuck left us just about 1 year ago...It was also so nice and heartbreaking to discover this video shared on Ytube by his wife Carmen & Chris and Lizzy....So.......emotional to see how they shared in public such intimate moments of their lives...Nothing much to add....JUst thanks to Chuck and his beautiful life and family...for all the music he made and left us....Music sometimes can mean little or so much for many people around the world....thanks again ..evrybody.....keep best music in your hearts...and meet y someday somewhere...AGAIN.....! Rocco from Napoli , Italy

R.I.P. Chuck. And Pat's performance here is incredibly deep. Beautiful.

I studied with Chuck for two years at ArtistWorks. I never met him face to face but the videos he exchanged with me are treasured memories. He was a beautiful exponent of the guitar; a gifted teacher with a flawless technique. What I remember most though, was the courtesy and respect he afforded his pupils, revealing a true generosity of spirit. I'm not in the least embarrassed to say I cried when we lost him. It came as a shock as I was not aware he was ill. To put it as simply and as humbly as I can, I liked the world much better when Chuck Loeb was in it.

Farewell ol'pal, thank you for so much music❤🙏...there goes my prayer for you, with love.

I almost every day listen to his songs and playing. Miss his playing very much and sorry for his absence.

Your music lives on Chuck Loeb!RIP!

A truly masterful musician and composer. Love your music - rest in eternal peace Chuck.

BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, CHUCK LOEB FAVORITE

Great composer, musician, collaborator. One of the most productive and hard working musicians, with truly “Music Inside”. Above all great human being and family man. So yearly and so unfair. God bless your soul Mr. Chuck Loeb!

Toute mon admiration pour le grand guitariste qu’il était et pour ses grandes qualités humaines...de tout cœur avec ceux qui ne l’oublient pas. Repose-en Paix Chuck.

This was so beautifully done in memory of Chuck.

Back in the 90s my dad got me hooked on contemporary jazz. The staples of my collection were fourplay, Russ freeman and the rippingtons, and Chuck Loeb among others. One night, in the early 00s, after a benefit concert, my dad got to sit and have cocktail and bs with Chuck Loeb. My dad said, they talked about many things one of which was my college radio show. ( I was the only kid doing a Smooth jazz show.) My dad said Chuck was intrigued by this and signed a copy of "in a heartbeat" with a note wishing me well with my radio show. I was over the moon to receive it. My dad told me about what a great guy he was. Rip Chuck Loeb. You touched so many with your music.

I got to know you too late. I've loved it ever since I discovered it 10 years ago. I will continue to love you.

I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck @ Soiled Dove Underground Denver like 2010-11?? with Eric Marienthal and Earl Klugh... he seen the sheer excitement in my face and said "Thanks for coming"...I said "Ya.....Forever Remembered......

So sad he is gone. What a nice man and fantastic musician and composer.

That was beautiful. Carmen,I am so sorry for your loss.Loved your musical collaborations and miss them. You were both blessed to have found each other.

What a beautiful soul made visible through these images and music.

I have been listening to him since i was 16 years old and i am 38. I own every album that he put out. Straight A's the song on one of his albums he made in 1991 changed my life. I will listen to your music when I am sad and I wil listen when I am happy. RIP to the best smooth jazz player that ever did it. I love you Chuck! You will ALWAYS be the best! I will never stop listening to you!!

Miss You Chuck - Rest in Peace. Nice Video, Nice Family and Nice Music from Pat Metheny LOVE IT

Chuck Loeb left a musical and life time of love legacy to the world....I will miss him...

Such a loving tribute! Chucks legacy lives on. For new generations to behold the beauty this man shared.

3yrs back, for the first time I heard Chuck's album with Eric Marianthal and just got sucked into the passion of Chuck's playing, and only to find out that he had passed on. The grief has never left me. But there's such beauty in revisiting the grief. Thanks for sharing this....

So Chuck Loeb has gone with his guitar to a more better place to rest.I recall some time back hearing his familiar tune always played on Utube I was compelled to comment on he's pretty good and Chuck was, no sorry Chuck you are among the best .Any time an artist of music get that call their talent is needed elsewhere its nothing I can do but wait my turn to get to see them again but until then I 'll settle with their music they left us with. Chuck Loeb r.i.p.

I had no idea he passed away…😢 Always loved Chuck’s playing and arrangements.

I'm trying to hold back the tears......complete failure. Wish I could be there to personally thank you, Carmen, Christina and Lizzy, for opening a visual door to the intimate family moments you have showed us fans of Chuck, and witness all the love that made his life much more transcendent. The world lost a great, one-of-a-kind musician, a loving husband and father, and a humble and incredibly good human being. His life is to be celebrated by those of us who admired him, and his departure from this world leaves us wishing we could attend his great gig in heaven. He will be missed.

Recuerdo imborrable en nuestro corazón. Gracias por darnos momentos maravillosos. Hermosa familia.

Great, talented, brilliant!!! Rest in peace Genius! (

Chuck Loeb composed timeless music.....played with such heart...

We lost a virtual giant of jazz guitar for his generation and a foundational builder of what we now call the "Smooth jazz" idiom and part of America's only true musical invention, one that's served to unify all sectors of the human species and connect with the spirits of so many from different backgrounds. That's what Chuck Loeb helped to create and whole there are thousands of world-class guitarists in this world, many who possess equal or even superior chops, only one in my mind could put that unique "NEW YORK" touch on anything he chose to play, a distinct and instantly recognizable flavor as either a lead instrument or in the background, you knew who it was, it was the man himself, making any song his own and having a great time with his audience as he did it....😏 That was what Chuck Loeb put on the musical table every time he opened his guitar case and plugged in. Thank you sir for the great work you put in and the wonderful collaborations with other great musicians, your legacy will live on for lifetimes to come, goodbye and job well done!👍👁️✨🎸🎶🌌😇

I have been quite familiar with musical artists like Chuch Loeb for a long time. As I approach my 65 birthday, I have become even more familiar with musical artists like Chuck Loeb. The sad part is that I did not follow these musicians more closely before their passing as I do now. This is true with guitarists like Jeff Beck, who I started following in the 80's. There are many other musicians who have passed who have left an incredible legacy. I only hope there are other people out there that enjoy their music as I continue to do. This video is an incredible tribute to Chuck and his family. Thank you for the music Chuck!

A wonderful family and a fantastic dad, thank you very much Chuck...

Thanks for the beautiful music and all the pleasure you gave us. You'll be missed by many. RIP Chuck.

Amazing , Incredible family ,i'm speachless R.I.P Chuck

Chuck, your music will live with us forever. Such a genuine person I have ever met and his family. May you Rest In Peace.

Thanks so much for sharing more of Chuck's life and your life with him. The world will be too quiet without him.

wow 5 AÑOS DE TU PARTIDA Y TU MUSICA AUN SIGUE VIGENTE... TAN HERMOSA COMO SIEMPRE.... QUE GRANDES MELODIAS DEL CORAZON HICESTE SIEMPRE ESTARAS EN NUESTROS CORAZONES...

I was so fortunate to see Chuck in Boston in 2003/2004 and what a show it was. He was so in sync with his band and I walked away feeling so damn good. God bless his family and thank you for allowing him to follow his dream.

Querido, respetado y admirado, que más se puede pedir de la vida. Por siempre Chuck Loeb.

Chuck you are my guitar hero ,you led my way to jazz&music

RIP Chuck Loeb one of my favorite smooth jazz guitarist .

Being a great family is to have lived a fulfilled life, which through these pictures you can tell Chuck did. He topped it with this inmense talent that he was blessed to be able to share with millions all over the world. RIP, from Puerto Rico.

What we had in Chuck was first of all was a father a beautiful family love, a beautiful wife and beautiful music you were blessed to have each other although I have never meet him his music connect Rip Chuck.

Ich danke! Ich habe ihn in Köln 2013 in der Philharmonie und 2016 in Leverkusen live gesehen! Ich vermisse ihn!

Chuck will live forever in our hearts. No words or deeds to thank beauty. We, the rest of us, will die forever, not Chuck. And my deepest thanks for those who took care of him with love until the very last second...thanks for you all

I have been deeply affected by the loss of this man... more than I can explain. We are not personal friends, although I admired his talent greatly and felt that we could have been very easily. We never crossed paths musically, though I would have loved to play with and learn from this man over the many years we shared in common. My deepest sympathies for his wife and children and my heartfelt thanks for this wonderful tribute to a man who, by all indications, was taken much to early!

When my career was just starting I had the pleasure of working with Chuck at 39th street music doing jingles, he was a breath of fresh air, a real gentleman and a great talent. It's so sad when the good ones go, my heart and prayers go out to the family.

The world has lost a truly beautiful person and artist. Thanks for all the wonderful music Chuck.

Goodbye Chuck. Really going to miss you. I grow up listening to your music.

Missing this great genius!

Um testemunho de amor e arte! Viva por sempre Chuck!

Such a big loss. His subtle way to play the guitar was sublime.

I just want to thank your for this clip. I saw Chuck live in Cologne in 2013 and in Leverkusen 2016! What a nice father und man. Just miss him!

Dear Carmen, Christina, and Lizzy: Such a beautiful way to honor your loved one. I have been so sad since the news, and tears streaming as I watch this and listen to the gorgeous tunes. He was one of my favs in smooth jazz. We are all missing Chuck with you, but you are missing him the most, and words are not enough I know. But, I hope that you, the ones he loved most, will find some comfort in the love and prayers we send your way. Hold on to the memories dears, his love for you will never die... Blessings and peace.

I am so happy to have the the book "The Best of Chuck Loeb", it's been with me for many years now and makes me aware how much of an influence you and your music had on me...thank you for that, Mr. Loeb!
