Fourplay ...yes please Jazz CD


Does anyone own this CD as well as their other works? I have this CD and like it a lot, but before rushing out to purchase their other stuff I would like to know if it is similiar to this album.

Also, if you own this CD, could you recommend some other artists very similiar?

If you liked the last foreplay you are easy to please. With all that talent that had to be the worst release ever expected. Pefstratiou's post was correct about smooth Jazz not being Jazz. It sounds like the same song over and over. Check out Foreplay's members solo works or their earlier works.
I just got back to this thread, you guys are killing me!!! What do you clasify smooth jazz as if it is not jazz? Pop? Lighten up not all of us are 60 years old, I just can't get into most of the really old stuff that most of you guys refer to as "jazz" maybe that should be relabeled as "random instrumental". Smooth jazz(fourplay) is as much jazz as Miles Davis just like saying Incubus is not rock because it is not Elvis, times change as do styles, terms become more elastic as they get older.
I have been a Bob James fan for about 25 years. Geez, that made me feel OLD.....
Following him lead me to many artists that I would have never found since they never got air play. I would just look to see if he had anything to do with the album and buy it.
If you go to Amazon, you can listen to parts of the songs
on the CD's that they have for sale.

Sorry guys, Fourplay stinks!!! It's not good jazz, and I frankly hesitate to call it jazz. Unfortunately, groups and individuals such as Fourplay, The Rippingtons, Dave Koz, Spyra Gyra, and Kenny G have grossly misrepresented the genre. Perticularly Kenny G, whom I feel should be incarserated. Down with Kenny G, up with T. Monk, George Gables, Paul Desmond, Kenny Burrell, and Bill Evans.
