Bob James is not only an entertainer, he's a professor of music. His arrangements are superb. I wish I could be a student of his??

I didn't know the drummer wrote Argentina. As a side note, I actually prefer this version to the original (studio) version by quite a bit. This is an amazing version of Argentina, indeed.

One of the very best smooth jazz groups of all time. There must be something very wrong with the people who gave this thumbs down.

In my opinion this is the greatest collection of jazz musicians.march2022.

R.I.P MAESTRO CHUCK LOEB

An absolutely "soul" lifting experience! This is what "MUSIC" is to me! Music has never, nor will it ever TELL ME A LIE! If you can't play, We'll "all' know right away! NO DOUBT! In the world of music I can have EXPECTATIONS that will ALWAYS BE MET! When I listen to JAMES BROWN, TOWER OF POWER, THE METERS, I CAN EXPECT TO HEAR THE "FUNKIEST" GROOVES known to mankind, When I listen to FOURPLAY I can expect and prepare myself to listen to most of the cuts over & over again and everytime I hear the same tune, I KNOW I'm going to hear something I missed the first, second, third, forth and so on, time around! MUSIC NEVER HAS AND NEVER WILL LET ME DOWN OR LEAVE ME HANGING! BUT IT ALWAYS LEAVES ME WANTING "MORE!!!!"

Smooth Jazz in it's most perfect incarnation. This line up was at our Jazz Festival a few years ago, and I happened to kind of sneak in to the sound check and they played two chords of a song and I yelled out "101 Eastbound!!!!" Nathan spotted me and called back, "Now THAT's a fan." I replied "It was me who recommended you to the Committee."

Timeless performance. I can't believe that after more than 12 years that this live performance is still so excillirating and masterfully recorded. Kudos to the video and recording engineers for capturing every nuance and the synergy of these Fourplay musicians and the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra. It's like being in the audience. What a superb experience! This is truly a gift to humanity. Chuck Loeb your legacy lives forever. RIP

I grew up on the east side of Buffalo, NY listening to pop and rock music in the 1980s and then R&B music and then hip hop in my teens. When I moved to Charlotte, NC for my undergraduate studies in the mid-1990s, I discovered Fourplay and I've loved these guys ever since - all versions with Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton and Chuck Loeb. They are musical geniuses.

These absolute mad lads are an accurate definition of magic! bravo!

Harvey Mason is phenomenal here … his control is off the scale … and credit to the engineers … you can hear every note, no matter how quiet, even the ghost notes …

He brought along his electric double bass...while then I was a big fan of Eric Clapton but seeing Nathan playing for the first time it made me a fan of his for life.

I've always loved listening and watching live performances for their sheer spontaneity ❤

Great quartet and the orchestra is spot on. In the mid 70's when I was still in the Philippines I bought my very first jazz album. It was Touchdown by Bob James. It had the picture of a football ball and I was bit puzzled what touchdown meant! Fortunately Bob James visited the Philippines either late 70's or very early 80's and I remember that Hubert Laws was with him. Bob's hair may be grayer & thinner but the music still as good as before. And hats off to the audio engineer for the great sound.

Was listening and watching them play with teary eyes in awe. This is so beautiful ❤

This concert lifts me up, keeps me inspired really get it done , and always stimulates or initiates a return to joy and wholeness - and no fear ! Bob James’s his musical arrangements (from thevtaxi car tv series theme song) up to now are inspired by the Holy Spirit- a gift from God that lifts our souls

It was a great experience and I enjoyed very much, thank you to all!!!
