HPB8024.2	Metro	Metrocafe	12.09.00	In 1995, guitarist Chuck Loeb, keyboardist Mitch Forman, bassist Anthony Jackson, and drummer Wolfgang Haffner offered up a cool middle ground for those whose instrumental tastes fall between smooth jazz and bebop; as Metro, the band released the edgy yet often laid-back Tree People on Lipstick Records, which harked back to the fusion heydays of the 1970s, when jamming improvisations ruled and radio didn't worry so much about offending anyone's ears. With Victor Bailey replacing Jackson, Metro finally re-emerged with this eclectic effort, which blends Loeb's keen pop/rock sensibilities with Forman's obvious love for both elegant piano jazz and retro-funk and -blues.
HPB8028.2	Metro	Grapevine	27.08.02	Grapevine is produced by Mitchel Forman & Chuck Loeb Formed in 1994, but originally conceived by Mitchel and Loeb as far back as 1979 when they both played with Stan Getz. New member Mel Brown on bass and rock steady drummer Wolfgang Haffner form the rhythm section. The collective credits of the members of Metro is too numerous to fully list. Chuck has worked with artists as diverse as Chico Hamilton, Jack McDuff, Gato Barbieri and Bob James. Wolfgang is one of the most in-demand Jazz drummers today, playing with everyone from Michael Franks to the WDR Big Band. Grapevine is the follow-up album to Hip Bop's successful 2000 release Metrocafe which won rave reviews: What a Groove Jazzwise Loeb is a Virtuoso Blues & Soul find out more at.
