Fourplay - X (2006)

Fourplay is the quintessential Smooth Jazz super group. The precision and impeccable execution with which they perform their music is a marvel to behold, both on disc and in person. X is an extraordinary album, in that it encompasses the signature sounds of Bob James, Larry Carlton, Nathan East, and Harvey Mason with a dynamic and freshness that's at once timely and timeless. Since I really don't need to tell you anything more about these guys than you already know, let's run the tracks down. "Turnabout" - Classic Bob James… elegant, tasteful, robust; "Cinnamon Sugar" - Tasty, tasty, tasty, and my bet for the next single… Larry upfront and shining; "Eastern Sky" - Ethereal and powerful… glistening with synth and Nathan's fretless bass work and wordless vocals; "Kid Zero" - Harvey wrote this gem…engaging, signature ensemble Fourplay, with lots of Nathan on bass and scatting; "My Love's Leavin'" - Huge first single, featuring Michael McDonald's awesome new spin on the Steve Winwood classic; "Screenplay" - Very hip, very sophisticated and complex, with great solos from Bob and Larry; "Twilight Touch" - A languid, sensual ballad…gorgeous melody, solos from Larry, Nathan and Bob with a sultry synth backing; "Be My Lover" - Duet vocal refrain from Larry's wife, Michelle Pillar and Nathan highlights another potential hit single; "Sunday Morning" - Larry's guitar work gives this gentle bluesy ballad a captivating, down home feel. So, there you have it…the stunning new Fourplay - X. Smooth Jazz just does not get any better than this. Period!
