When we started playing in Europe, that’s when promoters wanted to promote us as the Jeff Lorber Fusion.

There were almost eight years where I didn’t record at all - I was just a studio musician in L.A., an arranger - and then I got back into it. I got rid of the “Fusion” because it played out.

And then the idea of fusion seemed passé so I started making Jeff Lorber records. It went through a few personnel changes but basically was a pretty solid unit of Danny Wilson on bass, Dennis Bradford on drums and Kenny Gorelick, on sax, and me. “In my group I like to be equals and have a lot of talented people around me and feature them.”Ī: Well, what happened is the Fusion was a pretty tight band that formed in the late ’70s.
