Jeff Lorber & Brian Bromberg - Portland

[hawvichorst2]

1:27 epic win

[MrMuppetbaby]

And that is Brian playing his BSX Allegro hollow body bass with Bartoloni pickups. Great bass. I must have one.

[codevyper]

@prodipe23: Darn right! Genuine Masters!

[ballademaker]

the groove is awsome:)

[michaellogic]

anybody know what electric upright is brian playing??

[sgtpeppers04]

Super groovin' 

[ishotthesheriff7]

Nice rendition of Chameleon ~ That's what I call funky keyboarding!

[pepy1970]

Un puro godimento uditivo... meravigliosi!

[smoothjazz1968]

just one word~so great!

[djmikenewman]

i love Brian's feeling

[codevyper]

I've listened to and studied Jeff Lorber for years. One of the funkiest cats ever to grace a keyboard! Brian Bromberg is just laying down the coldest groove here! Anyone can play a 2 chord song, it takes masters like these though to inject feel and enough variance to keep you listening after 5 minutes!

It just seems playing at a book store in Portland is a little beneath them though. Even though I know it's to promote Jeff''s CD

[prodipe23]

@codevyper

That´s why they ar MASTERS!

[vesspolk]

Thats what you call key boardology to the tenth degree. He workin his jelly !

[vesspolk]

Jeff is one of a kind, his on those keys like a mad man !!!

[vesspolk]

Well , If you could feel the temperature on them keys or them strings , they ought to be smokin right now !!!!!!

[hateaters]

my jazz combos professor banned this song... but i am sure he wouldn't stop these two from the legendary two chord funk fest!

[dandiacal]

Are you SERIOUS? Banned Chameleon? Please explain further..

[hateaters]

Well, we had a "guest guitarist" come up on stage with us, and he basically he and the other guitarist ate up about 15 minutes of the classes time soloing over the song. This class was set up for a certain amount of people to play in 1 1/2 hours, and we ended up kind of screwing the last group that came after us.

After that, the teacher declared "no more 2 chord jams". When he got a few boos and hisses, he said "maybe in 15 years"

[Kaaawa2000]

Next time jam on Low Rider (one chord).

[hateaters]

I am not in that class anymore, but I doubt he would let us play that anyways. True, it is funk, but he would only really let us play funk tunes that hand jazz roots. Class was fun while it lasted though!

chameleon in A!

[toofpick151]

One of the sickest duos EVER!!

[Dougles152]

one of the greatest chameleon versions i've EVER heard!! (;

[AKOutback]

I Love the: groove,the exploration( chord subs, alternate scale work)the sound, love the blues in it, love the communication, I love how Lorber delays the tempo a quarter note or two, plays with the ear a bit, sometimes, love the players... keep it rollin!

[genuineIntel]

It's a MOTIF8 ???

[anamollo4music]

no its a MOTIF ES 8

[1wayne12345]

Don't get me wrong... this is great stuff. But why the music stand. The song only has 2 chords! ha ha ha

[nunoa007]

The music stand is there symply because this is not the only tune they played that day my friend.

[1wayne12345]

Of course.

[sasha42196]

You kidding, right? Brian Bromberg is one of the best there is. Unfortunately, he has never had any recording breakthroughs but that's due to poor management, not his playing. Anyway, he is as much in demand as Peter Erskine or Michael Brecker (was).

And yes, this is Chameleon by Herbie.

[hermandrum]

Brian Bromberg is a well known double bas player?? where he from?

[Boardndave]

Originally from Arizona. He plays quite a bit. Not exactly a traditional jazz style, but it is still extremely good.

[tisenderbluesman]

This is Chameleon! isn't it?? you now with herbie hancock?

[JazzySaxE]

did you hear the keyboard growl at 152???

[helltotheN0]

If I walked into my local bookstore for a coffee and book and stumbled on to Jeff Lorber playing.... i would be really really happy.

[JazzySaxE]

haha of course!

[jdean9]

Lol

[ACUTEFAILURE]

Great bass, gotta get one.

[GBJPhotoWorks]

Man... I wish Lorber would come play my local book store!

[ecohouse]

You are only as good as your last gig...........

[ekim53]

Hey, I was really kinda joking. I have followed him for a while now and enjoyed his column in Keyboard. However, I would like to see some of these great artists perform at schools and similar venues to promote good music and jazz. This had to be a thrill.

[caparole]

yeah! groove out!

[dizzysfingers]

amazing keyboard skills..

[grunt74]

Jeff Lorber is the King. Have you heard his version of Chaka Khans 'Aint noboy?... kicks ASS!

[6stringmonster]

yay chameleon! havent played that in a long time

[joejazzmaniac]

thanks for posting this video.. its cool.. thanks again and I hope you can post more of this kind of things.... it really help us in viewing these great artists around the world..

[Zachmozach]

I was there for this. I thought it was kinda funny when his Brian's battery died on his solo and he stopped. Thanks for putting this up.

[JazzySaxE]

this guy is a legend just hear those bluesy jazzy licks and proggressions

[dtalbot913]

You can always count on Lorber to play his ass off. Amazing artist!

[mdm433]

FYI, this is "Chameleon" by Herbie Hancock

[JazzySaxE]

yeah you can tell by that bassline

[lithion]

damn I was in portland that time and missed that show!
