I am French, in 1978 in Paris I discovered by chance at the flea market Porte de Clignancourt his first album ''The Jeff Lorber Fusion (1977) when I listened to the song ''Deva Samba'' I said to myself : I came across a nugget that I'm not letting go! It's now more than 40 years that I still appreciate his evolution, and that I recognize his style at the first touch. It doesn't make me any younger but still the same feeling as when I was 16🥲. Merci Jeff💝

Drummer is the epitome of good taste and restraint. Perfect for this gig and room.

I was up late one night and can across this treasure, stayed up late and listened to the entire video!! Being a Lorber fan for 40 plus years, this video made my day!!

Jeff’s level of funkyness doesn’t get enough props.

Man this truly lifted me out of a rainy Scottish afternoon into a distant world of really good musician's in really small clubs in the USA. I miss those places with the best cats in the world.

I saw Jimmy Haslip play when he toured the UK with the late great Allan Holdsworth, sometime around 2009. He is truly a beast of the bass! Chad Wackerman was on drums!! 😊

The world needs more sensible groove!

One of my all-time favorite groups!!! The PHENOMENAL Jimmy Haslip on bass!!!

this drummer so soft and his fills are so fluid. easily connects all parts together, dynamics are great. Love it. Bro you're insane if you're reading this.

Sounds Great! Drummer did good, especially for his first time playing with Jeff.

Man drummer has some serious groove for sure! Bass play and keys were superb, what a killer band, all this from just 3 dudes. Touring bands now days have huge bands, backing tracks and still do not create such a big sound like this. Excellent stuff fellas! Felt the whole set.

I have enjoyed Jeff since the late 70's. This is a gem. Thanks for posting.

Good stuff, great venue! Played a gig as bassist with Pat Coil’s old band Recoil at the Agora in Dallas many years ago opening for Jeff Lorber Fusion. They were killer and Kenny G was his sax man. Left his sax in our guitar player’s car trunk when we had gone out for food after the gig. Small world.

Wow, I wish I were sitting there in that groove. Fuse Jim, Jeff and Dylan together. Fusion at its best.

Jeff Lorber certainly is a great composer and keyboardist. There at the baked potatoe, Lee Ritenour began his great job as a guitar player many years ago. A good place.

The drummer is right there for every accent, but never let's the groove slip. Beautiful dynamics and phrasing.

Basses is a smooth monster always plays just what Jeff needs drummer is dope just trio making all this colors sounds grooves its amazing

Jeff, I am a guitar player, love fusion, and I always liked your style, you really have the right feel and are probably the funkiest key player on the planet. This bass and drummer are reallly locked up tight and you guys are dynamite! Keep creating, you are always amazing.

I discovered JL only a couple of years ago; wish me luck!

Always loved Jeff Lorber...wow...so nice to re-connect with him through this recording!! Love it!!

Very good is all I can say. Pleasure

Jeff has been one of my true keyboard heroes since the 70s. Thanks master !

Drummer is one cool cucumber! What a great relaxing sound with such an up beat tempo! My brain loves this shit and I still cant explain why...hell, why should I? Im just gonna enjoy the mood!

Jeff Lorber is a great pianist...& Also a wonderful drummer..Great Performance....👏👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Well, it looks like I have another drummer to keep my eyes on......simply amazing....this was the 1st time I ever heard of him......what a fine talent. A dynamite trio for sure.....I have great respect for these players....

I listen to Jeff Lorber channel on Pandora and am just amazed at how many great songs Jeff has had over the years. Been a fan since the 70's

Happy Birthday Jeff Lorber 11-4-52! I have followed you since 1979. You are ALL THAT!

FOREVER A JEFF LORBER FAN, Thanks for posting this, 🙏

I am not a drummer. I don't know the first thing about it. But I do know that this guy is smooth- and right on time

at 3:57 for a bout a minute, Jeff is really enjoying the bass solo.. at 6:57 he is enjoying the drum fill. Jeff looks like he is having so much fun, it is a pleasure to watch him perform as much as it is to listen. Fantastic keyboard solo at 28:48! The drumming is so tight! And after his solo, more of those smiles!!!

Jeff you are still a beast only getting better

Awesome sauce! Jeff and Jimmy are legends of our time... and kudos to Dylan Elise... perfect fit! I just wish the camera angle didn't block Mr. Haslip the whole time. Great show never the less. I love these intimate jazz club settings and don't get to frequent them very often unfortunately.

I got some old Vinyl stuff of his! Sounds same--always good!

Jeff has several compositions in The Real Book 1 dating from the 70's. Been around the fusion block, he has. I miss the Potato, one of my favorite things about LA.

On of the greatest Producer ever. I still love Private Passion.

The KING OF THE ULTIMATE of FUNK/SOUL and all around GREATEST PIANO PLAYER in the Jazz Circuit. Watching Jeff Lorber since 1980. ALL the best from Jeff in Palmdale, California. Last time I saw him was at Spaghatinis Jazz Bar N Grill in Seal Beach 2019 or 2018. OUTSTANDING.

Bass and drums absolutely rock solid during Jeff's solo on He Had A hat. Awesome concert. Jeff still killing it after half a century.

Lorber, the real deal. great group!

Love this man. I go back with him with ' Soft Space', and ' Wizard Island'.. Been following him for years.. love the mini moog solos for years.😃😃😃

Put this on and simply couldn't turn it off, always loved Jeff's music and what a killer rhythm section

Incredible Jeff Lorber & his Band !

Sensational beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Saw Jeff back in the mid 80s in San Diego. A true master..went on to play a couple of his tunes in a jazz band later..fun stuff

I remember seeing him at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano CA in the late 70's early 80's Great shows. he had horns then

Love the Baked Potato! Haven’t been there in ages!! I hope its still great as it used to be!

Best sounding recording from that club!!...

I have 3 of Jeff's early albums... Water sign, lift off...and "Step by Step". I kinda forgot about him.This is awesome, i play keyboards and he is onebof the greatest jazz musicians ever. This is awesome. THANKS

Jeff Lorber has been one of my favorite keyboardist for many years

He's always had great drummers

I love it you guys are bad azz.🥁😎🥁

Love this ! Spectacular musicians all !

Crisp….smooth…..OUTRAGEOUS ! Bangin’ those DW’s…..

Just the way I like it and first discovered Jeff Lorber as a teenager in the early 1980s in the JL Fusion Unit with Kenny Gorelick

JIMMY🔥🔥🔥

Groove is EVERYTHING!!!❤Yesssss! Grateful to have reunited w/JLF!!!

This is good stuff

Man all three players musicianship is off the damn charts. Jimmy Haslip I'm more familiar with as he's played with Robben Ford and Jing Chi. Jeff Lorber I definitely need to dig further into but I do have some of his music. The drummer I thought was stellar in playing with two long time experienced players and for him and Jimmy to mesh together as well as they did was special. I've listened to this three times now and will definitely listen more. What a great ride they produced together. Damn!😮

Jeff and his musicians always on Point yep 👍

Been lovin' Jeff since day one, still a master. Would love to see a triple header gig with Jeff, Brian Auger and Eumir Deodato, that would be funky heaven!

Great to hear Jeff again!

Gerald Albright once described Jeff as a chameleon because he can fit into so many styles. Jeff has always had an eye and ear for talent: In addition to Gerald who was once in his band, so was Kenny G., and my high school classmate David Koz has done work with him.

Loved the lead in to Tune 88. Lovely re-realization, hauntingly Grusin-esque. My late son - a drummer - got exposed to the Jeff Lorber Fusion in our home when he was a little tyke. Even then he could find the “beats between the beats” the band tucked so neatly and tightly into both the tunes theMselves as well as the comping. What a joy that was for me - music educator - to see my son light up with life force from the music. Thank you for the gift of sound you’ve brought to us all.

I was wondering what Jimmy Haslip was doing since seeing new bassist with Yellow Jackets. I am probably living under a rock, but I am glad I crawled out and found this video. 😁

I was into jeff way back...recently saw this exact band a few years back

Yes!!!Give the drummer some….and bass as well. Jeff Lorber….Masterful keys!!!

They're the best 💯❤

I haven't heard Jeff Lorber in years, but he's still got it going on. And I fell in love with Jimmy Haslip from his into to "Feel Like Flying" by Gino Vannelli. I'm new to Dylan Elise, but he's holding his own with Jeff's fast tempo. What a treat!

My favorite live set ever!...the quality of the composing, the bass solos, the drum feel!...just perfect!...

This is so mega cool 👍👏👏👏👏🙂🎶🎵🎶🎵💯Love it... ❤

I spent many a night at the Baked Potato. Heard some of the best Fusion-Jazz I have ever heard. I also saw the Jeff Lorber Fusion at a free concert at a Hollywood amphitheater.

Saw Jeff at Redcreek in Rochester NY I think was in the 80's (don't quote me). Dude is still smokin'!

What a treat! Lot's a musical goodies being offered by these three top musicians. Jeff's playing that blows your mind, Jimmy's bass clinic amongst other things...

That drummer is a beast!

Killing it!!...key word : pocket!!...

Jeff Lorber's Band is smooth and Kicking!!!!

Jeff & Jimmy combining forces, this is too cool! Thank you both for all the great music/recordings you made through the years! It had a huge influence on me, still does!

That's some slick stuff!

Outragous performance - how is it possible to keep all these arangemants and breaks in its head, for so many songs :-)

Jeff Lorber is such a gem!!

No shortage of bass solos that night.

great!!

J'aime beaucoup ce musicien, il a joué avec les plus grands du jazz fusion. Bon groupe !

This is the first watching Jeff Lorber What A Great Show WoW Live

So good.

Thanks for this! I was there that night among the howlers. Totally sublime and unforgettable.

This trio was made in heaven. Really nice work. ❤

Brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Awesome music

👁️goT Jeff CD in my car now Plus Peter White🔥🔥🔥🔥

Excellence in all of them !

Awesome guys, just AWESOME!!!!

I liked their music for many years, greetings from Mexico.

fantastic performance!

Drummer is Dylan Elise (pronounced Eh-lee-zay) from New Zealand. I believe he's part-iwi Ma'ori (ee VEE - MAH -oh-dee). Lots of KZfaq videos of him playing on the street, bare chested, with girls fawning all over him, and he's slaying that little compact acoustic kit. Kia mau ki te riu Dylan!

Great concert! I am a big fan of Jimmy Haslip so I appreciate this show a lot...thanks for share

Jeff has an amazing set list!

Love The Baked Potato! Such a great place.

名前は知っていたが，こんなに素晴らしいサウンドを持っていたとは知らなかった🎉

Really enjoying listening to this video!

This guys are a great, tight combo! That man on the keyboard is grooving like Jimmy Smith, and that baseline is down on it like Stuff! Man, am I dating myself or what? Ha
