Farewell Chuck Loeb (1955 - 2017)

Chuck Loeb died on July 31. Another one of  'The Greats' has left us. The guitarist, regarded as one of the best in the business, is particularly remembered for his work with Stan Getz and Michael Brecker's Steps Ahead. I heard Steps Ahead at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 1985 but Loeb wasn't on that tour. 
So, unable to add a personal touch, I'll pass you over to the American jazz station WBGO for a resumé of his illustrious career (How many of us have had Stan Getz as best man at our wedding?)
Rest In Peace.
Lance.
