O’s Notes: Jeff Lorber is a veteran contemporary jazz arranger, producer and musician (keyboards, b, g) who shines with others and as a leader as on Hacienda, his latest release. He enlists support from an All-star crew including Jimmy Haslip, Eric Marienthal, Jean-Luc Ponty, Paul Jackson, Jr. and Dave Weckl. The formula is familiar to fans; lots of funky syncopated beats, punchy bass and cool riffs over mostly upbeat tracks. The music is all new but the contagious vibe is familiar and endlessly successful!
