Worth Waiting For is the tenth studio album by jazz keyboardist Jeff Lorber, released on Verve Forecast in January 1993.

[4][5] 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.

[6] Years later, he said he came back to solo jazz albums because he "wanted to be more in creative control and express myself.

"[8] Worth Waiting For continued the 1980s series of Lorber's smooth jazz/jazz fusion albums featuring prominent synthesizer sounds, mixing jazz with elements of contemporary R&B, funk and pop.

Worth Waiting For stayed on Billboard's Contemporary Jazz chart for 30 weeks in 1993, selling more than 100,000 units.
