He played the Maintenance Shop in Ames, I was either sound man or manager/tech director . The band's truck had broken down and we assembled gear (amps and drums). I provided tha bass amp. The bass player was interested in buying my speaker cabinet, but we couldn't agree on terms. He signed the cab, but it's been scuffed off. All I can remember is that he as someone who was "relatively famous". keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 2190 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2015 - 8:25 am:    Was it Gerald Albright (might have gone by Joe back then)? There is a 1985 American Bandstand interview of Jeff Lorber where you can see the bass player very well.

It was somewhere in this time frame while he was in the Patrice Rushen band on sax that he took over bass when the then current bass player left mid-tour. It is clearly him in the video clip which was also from this same period. If you look up his biography he also lists that he is a bassist in addition to sax.
