Loeb’s own solo projects have generally been commercially successful crossover jazz, which has “contemporary” or “smooth” jazz. He started playing guitar when he was 11, discovered jazz when he was 16, took lessons from Jim Hall, Pat Metheny and Joe Puma, and attended the Berklee College of Music.

Loeb freelanced in New York (with Hubert Laws, Chico Hamilton, Joe Farrell among others) and then in 1979 joined Stan Getz’s group for two years. Back in New York, Loeb worked on jingles and soundtracks both as a player and a composer. He spent 1985-87 with Steps Ahead and in more recent times has produced recordings by Donald Harrison, Nelson Rangell, Larry Coryell, George Garzone and Warren Bernhardt.

As a performer, Loeb was part of Petite Blonde, a group featuring saxophonist Bill Evans, Metro with Mitchel Forman, and the Fantasy Band. Loeb has played with Gary Burton, Dave Samuels and many others; in addition his compositions have been recorded by a number of pop/jazz artists.
