Fourplay - The Best Of (1997/2020) SACD-R



The ultimate contemporary jazz supergroup, Fourplay—comprising keyboardist Bob James, guitarist Lee Ritenour, bassist Nathan East, and drummer Harvey Mason—defined the smooth jazz and fusion landscape of the 1990s. Originally released in 1997, 'The Best Of' compiles the absolute highlights of their early Warner Bros. era, capturing the band’s signature blend of sophisticated harmonies, velvety grooves, and immaculate instrumental interplay. Featuring sensational guest performances by R&B and pop royalty including Phil Collins, Chaka Khan, El DeBarge, Take 6, Patti Austin, and Peabo Bryson, this collection remains a masterclass in elegant, soulful production.
