A Beautiful Japanese Gem: Soft Space by The Jeff Lorber Fusion

Guest Artists: #ChickCorea & #JoeFarrell – R.I.P. to the Legends

There’s something special about holding a Japanese pressing in your hands — the craftsmanship, the sonic clarity, and of course, the aesthetics. One of those standout treasures is Soft Space by The Jeff Lorber Fusion, a smooth yet electrifying jazz-fusion album that showcases a dream collaboration featuring two jazz legends: Chick Corea and Joe Farrell, both iconic members of the pioneering fusion group #ReturnToForever.

From the first note, Soft Space immerses you in a world of swirling synths, tight grooves, and masterful improvisations. Chick Corea’s distinctive touch on the keys adds an element of depth and mystique, while Joe Farrell’s saxophone soars with soulful intensity. Their presence elevates this album from great to timeless — a true fusion of musical minds and

spirits.
