Guitar World Talks ‘Esprit De Four’ & Smooth Jazz with Chuck Loeb
by Veritas on Nov.30, 2012, under Press &Reviews
Chuck Loeb Discusses the New Fourplay Album, and the Allure of Smooth Jazz.
Chuck Loeb is more than just a guitarist. He’s the consummate musician.
In a career that spans four decades, he’s proven himself to be a versatile composer, arranger and producer in a wide range of musical styles. In 2010, Loeb joined the smooth jazz super-group, Fourplay, joining musical giants Nathan East (bass), Bob James (keyboards) and Harvey Mason (drums).
Fourplay’s latest release, Esprit De Four, continues the trend of beautiful arrangements and tasty licks that has made the quartet world renowned.
I spoke with Loeb about the new album and his creative process as well as what he thinks makes smooth jazz so appealing. He also gives advice on the best way to approach the instrument when it comes to improvisation.

A letter from a fan…
Please forgive the delay in sending this email.
Life has had me a little crazy lately, and I have been on the road quite a bit, but your music has been getting me through the madness.
