专辑简介Fourplay - Biography

This all-star group -- comprised of keyboardist Bob James, guitarist Lee Ritenour, bassist Nathan East, and drummer Harvey Mason -- was formed in 1991 after the quartet came together on part of James´ Grand Piano Canyon album. They have since recorded a number of CDs for Warner Bros. that have all been big sellers, not surprising considering the popularity of James and Ritenour. Larry Carlton took over the guitarist´s spot in the late ´90s, first appearing in Fourplay on the band´s successful 1998 album, 4. The group´s music borders on jazz with some strong improvisations mixed in with large doses of pop and R&B. (by Scott Yanow/www.allmusic.com)
