Worth Waiting For

Worth Waiting For is the tenth studio album by jazz keyboardist Jeff Lorber, released on Verve Forecast in January 1993. The album topped the U.S. Billboard Contemporary Jazz Albums chart at the end of July 1993. Worth Waiting For is the only album by Lorber to hit number 1 on that chart; five others rose to number 2. The album also hit number 33 on Billboard's Jazz chart, and number 71 on the R&B chart. The album marked a return by Lorber to his solo work, after a break of eight years in which he produced music for other artists. In the interim, Lorber produced a number of dance remixes, including ones for U2 and Paula Abdul. In 1990 he put together saxophonist Dave Koz's self-titled solo album, and in 1991 he produced saxophonist Eric Marienthal's successful Oasis smooth jazz album. But Lorber was growing dissatisfied with compromising in favor of the artist; he said "My attitude became less positive". Years later, he said he came back to solo jazz albums because he "wanted to be more in creative control and express myself."
