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?

This isn't another "that ain't music" thread it was about fourplay, just cause you don't like it doesn't mean that others don't. Just like any other genre, just for some reason people take it personally when it comes to smooth jazz, they would rather hear that your into Metal, polka, etc, then smooth jazz, that kills me.
Smooth jazz has it's place. In elevators, in up-scale stores, in malls, as background music. Just my most humble opinion, of course. Remember, I'm the guy that found one listenable song on a Fourplay CD!
Brianw- I can appreciate your opinion, as I said everyone is into different music, to tell someone what they listen to is bad, is plain dumb. I mean theres no rocks involved with rock&roll, it seems that anyone that likes it is stupid, LOL! I don't care if it was called smooth pop, I would still enjoy it. Cheers,

hey, let's change the topic to power cords! That should calm it down a bit.... :)

Trying to clasify music is like trying to put books or CD's in a category. It's difficult.. well, maybe it's impossible.

An example - I was looking at DVD's by "category" on Amazon - they had Clockwork Orange and 5th Element under comedy.

All I can say about Bob James is that I found Chick Corea, Billy Cobham, Al Dimeola, Stanley Turentine, Grover Washington, Jr, and many others from the initial path of finding Bob James. I don't listen to a lot of Bob James today, but I have a soft spot in my heart because I can pin point where the journey began back in '71. He saved me from DISCO and opened my eyes that there was more to music than top 40 on the radio!

Cheers everyone- AJ
You may have missed my point, Tireguy. I don't mind Smooth Jazz while riding in an elevator or as background music while walking through a Casino in Lost Wages. In fact, it is relaxing. But during a listening session? No way. That's when you bring out the Hank Mobley, Ben Webster, and Grant Green, (sending Kenny G back to the shopping mall). Remember, this is just my opinion. (And I did find ONE listenable song on the Fourplay "Best ..." CD).
