Fourplay ...yes please Jazz CD

Any particular Rippington's CD you would suggest? I am thinking of joining BMG to purchase these.

BMG doesn't list 3rd Force by Fourplay; they have Fourplay, 4, Between the Sheets, Elixr, Yes Please, Best of... and Snowbound (Christmas CD)

I have them all except greatest hits, having gotten hooked first on Between the Sheets, which is still my favorite. Rippingtons' Sahara and Moonlighting are real good too. Lots of Spyra Gyra out there in the used record bins. Haven't found any of their music I didn't like, but I don't have it all. Also Acoustic Alchemy, which for some reason may be in New Age in the store if not in Jazz. BMG has them too.Didn't really like Russ Freeman's collaboration album From the Rockies to the Redwoods.Have fun and hope you enjoy.

To Brianmgrarcom,

3rd Force is actually the name of another group, not an album by Fourplay; their music is similar in style to that of Fourplay. I second Lev355's recommendation on this one.

Happy Listening!

I would buy Black Diamond by the rippingtons and aslo Sahara but Sahara is a brite recording but a good disk. Black Diamond is great. Between the sheets by fourplay is their trademark cd. Very good. All their music is good. All of third forces cds are good but buy starting with the best of( collective force) It gives you an idea of what they are about. Good Luck email if you need more suggestions lev335@msn.com

Smooth Jazz is not jazz. Keith Jarett, the jazz pianist, has said that it should be sold in pharmacies as it is a sedative. For an analogy that a tire guy would understand Fourplay is to Miles Davis what the Firestone AT is to Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico.
