"This special collaboration among four masters of smooth jazz performing live in a recording studio is a true delight ,in terms of their musicianship.The tracklist includes a mixed bag of songs,most of which are favourites:101 Eastbound,Chant,After the Dance,Bali Run,Between the Sheets and Amoroso. What is lacking is the absence of any stage design whatsoever which could improve the overall performance and the Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack,which could be more impressive had it been remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 .Nevertheless if you are into smooth jazz,play this and you are in for a pleasant evening."
Thoroughly Enjoyable

"Fourplay is a fantastic group of musicians and they do not fail to satisfy here. They chose two great guest too. I am in love with Chaka. Her presence here overshadows and dwarfs everything around her. Sorry about my bias towards her voice and stage presence. Phillip Baily is awesome too. Both Chaka and Phillip Baily have such awesome natural talent when it comes to vocals. Aside from that, the performance of Fourplay is awesome."
Fantastic!

"Bob James: An Evening of Fourplay Vol 1 & 2 GREAT IT WAS ALMOST LIKE I WAS THERE PERFECT ARRANGEMENTS. LEE RITENOUR IS STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYERS AROUND AND HARVEY MASON IS STILL THE BEST DRUMMER AROUND. NATHAN EAST IS DOES A GREAT JOB ON THE VOCALS. AND WHAT MORE CAN YOU SAY ABOUT BOB JAMES. EXCEPT HE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST AROUND."
Smooth jazz heaven!!

"If you are a TRUE FAN of Lee, Bob, Harvey and/or Nathan then you have GOT to see this! As a jazz artist myself, these are the guys that I look up to.
The sound is pristine having been recording live in a recording studio. Overdubs came out perfect. A must have!!"
