Featuring guest performances by Walter Beasley, Kim Waters, Spyro Gyra's Jay Beckenstein, Bob James, Bill Evans, Will Lee and more! .com Chuck Loeb stands out among contemporary guitarists, with his bright sound, crystal-clear octaves, and crisp rhythms. He covers a lot of musical ground on Listen, ranging from gently propulsive ballads like "Geraldine" and "Love Is All" to soul grooves like "Silver Star" and the rousing, extroverted play of "High Five" and "Right Down Broadway." You can feel the empathy between Loeb and his guests, including pianists Mitchell Forman and Bob James, bassist John Patitucci, and saxophonist Kim Waters.
