Me too! I had all the vinyls from the early days when Joe Farril, Freddie Hubbard and Chick were guests on the records. In fact, I've got them all now digitally and seen pretty much all of the YT live shows, over and over and over.... I love Jeff.
Been listening since when Kenny G Played with him. Dude is the master of Jazz Funk. Great for guitar players who want to learn this kinda of music. You can literally hear yourself all the time. Warts and all. You either get funky or die on the vine in real time.
Note that Jimmy Haslip is lefthanded and learned to play bass on a guitar strung for a right hander so the strings are backwards for a left handed player! Brilliant!
