Jeff Lorber
Jeff Lorber won his first Grammy back in 2017, forty years after releasing his first album of blended post-fusion jazz and groove-oriented instrumental music. He’s known for funky grooves and improvisations on piano, synthesizer, and a Fender Rhodes electric piano. There’s a 99% chance you’ve heard his music without knowing who wrote it—Lorber made music for The Weather Channel and the Castlevania video game.
