It's little surprise that Fourplay jell so well even though the nature of the group is transitory. Keyboardist Bob James, guitarist Lee Ritenour, bassist Nathan East, and drummer Harvie Mason are pro's pros when it comes to studio musicians; if these four aren't accustomed to finding a groove quickly and seamlessly in the recording studio, no one is. That oh-so-smooth groove is certainly in abundance on their fifth domestic album. The tunes are all catchy, providing ear-tickling melodies, slinky rhythms, and plenty of room for well-proportioned solos by James and Ritenour, two of the top instrumental voices in smooth jazz. East and Mason, for their parts, are the perfect rhythm section for the job, laying down an exceptionally solid foundation that allows the group to move and groove as well as they do. One of smooth jazz's shining lights of the 1990s, Fourplay still has plenty to say in our new century.
