This CD, which includes all new songs except for one cover, will make listeners just feel good.
Each track has a lively tone to it and has instruments like keyboards and alto and tenor saxophones that will gladden any fan of smooth jazz.
The legendary Fusion keyboard player returns with a typically polished set of good time grooves like "Come On Up" and "Don't Stop".
Following on from the success of his last set '{He Had A Hat", "Heard That" maintains the high standard with cuts like "Heard That", co-written with sax player Eric Darius, "You Got Something" and the vocal "Take Control" catching the ear.
"Rehab" is a pleasant cover of the Amy Winehouse hit, but it is the overall feel of this set that is impressive.
The album, supported by a rhythm section of Alex Al and Lil John Roberts plus a strong guest list including Gerald Albright, Rick Braun and Paul Jackson Jr., is produced by Jeff Lorber and long time friend,veteran keyboardist Rex Rideout.
Witty drums play by Dave Weckl add some bass tone to the whole.
He inundates himself with expert players and vocalists, which only add to his genius and succeed in making you feel so relaxed that all your cares just melt away with each stanza.
The album proves that Jeff Lorber wears the jazz chapeau very well.
 SmoothJazz.com Review October 2, 2008

Composer/producer/keyboard legend/elder statesman for Smooth Jazz Jeff Lorber has done it again! His Peak album debut HEARD THAT is, as expected, absolutely stellar. The first radio single sets a torrid pace for the rest of the set, with its bluesy, old-school funk treatment of Amy Winehouse's Grammy-winning hit "Rehab." It'll remind you of the vibe on Ramsey Lewis' "In Crowd." On HEARD THAT, Jeff returns to his fusion-funk roots after the more jazz-oriented HE HAD A HAT album from 2007, and ensures the groove by collaborating with legendary pop, R&B producer Rex Rideout. HEARD THAT is amply infused with a pop, jazz, R&B, and Blues flavor, and naturally has that classic Lorber signature taste of 80's Fusion sound running through it all. Jeff acknowledges that "Jazz thrives on being a collaborative medium," and including players like Rick Braun, Paul Jackson, Jr. and Gerald Albright as sidemen doesn't hurt either! So what's Jeff Lorber's secret to his success and longevity? He answers, "My work ethic and the time I spend focusing on writing... I'm open to inspiration and ideas 24 hours a day." And that's exactly why we get awesome projects like HEARD THAT with every new Jeff Lorber release! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN

Welcome back Jeff, although He Had A Hat was a great CD deserving of the grammy this is the Jeff we all love and know. How do you do it? Time after time you came up with the funkiest grooves. The new CD is fantasatic. Again all 10 songs are awesome. Another grammy nomination certainly. Jeff it is about time the music world give you your due. You deserved it and have earned it. Thanks for all the great music

I have been a Jeff Lorber fan since I was young boy back in the 80's. My father had tons of albums and a few of Jeff Lorber albums of course. I loved that fusion sound he put out back then and loved the Definitive Collection cd! Jeff switched it up a bit for awhile after the fusion sound but I really wasn't feeling most of it. This cd Heard That is what I have been wanting for years! Its that 80's fusion sound with todays sound and it is slammin!!! The entire cd, track after track is smoking!! This has to be his best cd ever!! If you love that fusion sound, "he brought it back"! To the new Jeff Lorber fans this is his master recipe from back in the day and it is hot!!!!! Take a bow for this one Jeff cause you really deserve it!!
