fourplay - 101 eastbound

[@murrayadam5707]

Still loving fourplay in 2024!

[@elijahrichards2331]

Yes... 2024. This never gets old

[@tonytrabort4939]

This is one of those musical groups in which it is hard to single out any one member as responsible for their sound.....whether Nathan, Bob, Harvey or whichever of their three famous guitar players, Carlton, Loeb or Ritenour....they all were powerhouses on their respective instruments and lent considerable weight to the Fourplay sound/tone/accessibility. A very talented bunch of guys, one and all.

[@nicolocutor]

absolutely

[@jber9569]

One of my all time favorite Fourplay tunes. Larry has never done anything I don't like. They are all top rate musicians and gel so well together.

[@jonfocusjonfocus]

Bob James at his best......what a great solo......all these musicians are just superb....I could listen to this track forever.

I love how Fourplay ends their songs when they're live, especially on this song and "Chant". They're my favorite Smooth Jazz group of all time, regardless if it's Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton or Chuck Loeb on guitar. They're untouchable!

[@boriesheumann1186]

There is no better way to comment. I feel 100% the same way.

[@petewentz3528]

The great thing about Fourplay is that they master a style of jazz/lounge music that isn't as abstract and incongruous musically as pure jazz because it relies on lyrical, melodic, harmonious, linear frameworks or composition. The solos are intricate, have depth, involve dexterity, proficiency without becoming obnoxious, long-winded, and tedious like some other players who are cherished and celebrated and indeed talented. This music is so accessible to a lot of folks and it is tasty, sonically pleasing, tranquil with still an edge and complex enough to intrigue the average music listener. Long way of saying....these guys are/were special and occupy a niche in smooth jazz for decades, deservingly so. Bravo...

Yes, Bob James and Nathan East killed it, but don't forget about the so very solid Harvey Mason and "Mr. 335" himself, Larry Carlton. This band was truly a supergroup in every sense of the word!

Larry Carlton is awesome. Bob Mr Fender Rhodes James brilliant. Fourplay one of the all-time great bands.

[@dvanhorn]

Bob James is a witch. Incredible freeform that is somehow still rooted in the songs structure. Great performance by everyone. Gotta love Carlton's confidence and command too. East's solo was world class per usual.

[@dwightmoore8679]

Can't get enough

[@Denis-MR]

These guys can play! I love Bob James solo…he crushes it, it’s as interesting as it gets and yet, it’s a very Bob James solo, you can tell it’s him with your eyes closed. And Nathan East’s solo, this is one of my favorite jazz bass solos of all time. I love the way he accompanies James on his solo, he builds up some underlying tension along with James at one point and then he resolves along with him. Harvey Mason is a beast on the drums! For me, whether they have Rittenour, Loeb (RIP) or Carlton on there, they are amazing! Just egoless musicianship.

[@jamie2690]

Amazing huh? These cats are extraordinary musicians in THEIR OWN RIGHT ~ all, except Nathan, have been front and center since, my God, the early to mid-1970s. Check out Harvey's "Funk In A Mason Jar, " circa 1977. Or Bob James One and Two, same era. Lee, the sideman extraordinaire, countless gigs and appearances on hundreds of albums. Nathan is no novice either, 6 string (fretless on occasion!), I remember his "debut" of sorts on Bobby Womack's The Poet circa 1980, where his effort really stood out for a studio musician.
