You know when you have Phil Perry and Philip Bailey sing jazz vocals in the background, you know its gonna be awesome.

[@virgiliojesus2422]

Beauty in improvisation, each one leads at times, Bob (piano), Nathan (bass), Harvey (drums), Lee (Guitar) but then they come together, or alternate, accompany each other, or move away, free tones and expressions, They return and they all flow naturally, they seem to conclude the song but they resume the musical pulse. They reemerge... Wow, it's beautiful, everyone's great, it's simply Pure Jazz!

[@virgiliojesus2422]

...and the musical voices of Philip Bailey and Phil Perry demonstrate what soul sounds like when you love music... when you love Jazz!

[@cedemac3674]

Real Music by REAL musicians!

[@kennethisaacs3391]

All previously stated is so true. Keep in mind that founder Bob James is a master producer and has the talent to mesh different musicians to bring out a fresh and creative vibe to their performance. The late Grover Washington Jr thrived with him. Having Lee Rittenauer certainly doesn't hurt as well. They are just a talented group of jazz musicians.

[@nd9329]

This is one of the greatest songs of all time!

[@femaledancer1]

After years of testing and collecting vintage stereo equipment, I mostly always find Fourplay in the CD section of thrift stores. When I set up a system to test in the store, Chant is always my go to track, when i find it there. So many people stop by and ask who's the group whose playing this or to compliment the selection of music. Chant is one of my all time favorites.
