Loeb was born in Nyack, New York, near New York City. At a young age, he listened to Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Cream, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan. According to a 2005 JazzTimes article, the first song he learned on guitar was Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone", which he would later play at a guest appearance with Dylan. He discovered jazz when he was sixteen through the music of guitarists Wes Montgomery, George Benson, John McLaughlin, and Pat Martino. At that point, Loeb chose to become a musician and "never thought of doing anything else".
He studied with local music teachers, then traveled to Philadelphia and became a student of jazz guitarist Dennis Sandole. In New York City, he learned from Jim Hall. For two years he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, then left in 1976 to seek professional work in New York City.
In New York, Loeb played with Chico Hamilton, Ray Barreto, and Hubert Laws. Starting in 1979, he was a member of Stan Getz's group.[5] Getz later became the best man at his wedding to singer Carmen Cuesta. Loeb and Mitchel Forman, who was also in Getz's group, formed the jazz fusion band Metro (1994). In the 1980s, he was a member of the group Steps Ahead, which included Michael Brecker, someone Loeb credits as an influence. He replaced Larry Carlton as guitarist in Fourplay (2010).
Loeb and his wife have recorded together, with Cuesta providing vocals on his albums and Loeb playing on Cuesta's albums, and their daughters Lizzy and Christina contributing vocals.
Loeb began a solo career in 1988 with his debut album My Shining Hour on the Japanese record label Pony Canyon. He released subsequent albums on DMP Digital Music Products until receiving commercial success with Shanachie Records on The Music Inside (1996). The title song from the album held the number one position on the jazz charts for six weeks. Later, he produced Moon, the Stars, & the Setting Sun (1998), Listen(1999) In a Heartbeat (2001), and All There Is (2002).
Loeb's music has appeared on TV shows, commercials, and movie soundtracks, including The Untouchables, You've Got Mail, and Hitch.
Loeb died on July 31, 2017, aged 61 after suffering from cancer for several years.

You would walk by this guy and never know he was just a SUPERMAN of electric jazz guitar!
Sadly for me, i didn't know that he passed away but the legacy he leaves behind
is indeed a lasting one and his output will be with us for tens of generations to come...
God take him up and let him rest outside of time for a bit
then return him to life, to his
craft and we'll take him in any shape ok?
Thank you Chuck and please swing by the planet
again....🌐🎸👁️✌️

It's hard to believe that this 'smooth jazz' genre music is supposedly slowly dying. Of course listening to this Firehouse Cafe deli is so amazing in itself but each instrument can evoke such feeling and passion, which is what the world need more of to bring together.
Fred Sanderson
Rest in Peace, Chuck. A job well done while here on Earth.
Don Roberts
Check to that. Great talent Chuck.
Laurent Vinikoff

Revisiting one of my biggest guitar inspirations ! The amazing musicianship is awesome without question , but the writing is incredible and perfect!
Brian Vallotton
I was listening to him today and enjoying Presence. I did not know he passed away until right now. He was truly a master and I too wish to emulate him. He is now in THE Presence. God bless.

Chuck is truly missed from his Solo band and the great Fourplay band! My favorite guitarist of all time!

Chuck Loeb was simply one of the best Jazz musicians out there. When Chuck Loeb passed away I got really depressed. Thank God he left us some really amazing Jazz records and these fantastic Live concert footage like this at The FireHouse Cafe. I mean what a amazing show this really is. May Chuck Loeb rest in peace. Amen.
