This week's featured artist is Jeff Lorber. I have music and information from his group The Jeff Lorber Fusion's recent win of a Grammy Award at the 2018 award show for best contemporary instrumental album for their album Prototype. I will play three songs from this fantastic album and more in the following weeks. This is Lorber's seventh Grammy nomination and I will talk about his career and play some of his other music as well.
