Fourplay will play two sold-out shows this weekend at Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild.
It may surprise fans of contemporary jazz that Fourplay is still going strong after 20 years. However, Nathan East, the band’s bassist and occasional vocalist, might beg to differ, “given the fact that we all have such mutual admiration for [each other], playing together, hanging together.”
You can thank pianist Bob James’ long-standing custom of working with countless other musicians for the germination of the all-star band that plays the Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild’s Jazz Hall on Saturday, touring behind its latest release, last year’s “Let’s Touch the Sky.”

A Quartet Playing…
Call it what you will
As much as anything the contemporary jazz movement pushed discussions about “what is jazz?”
Well, jazz is definitely an improvisational music based on the blues developed in the United States with African origins.
From there we can have a conceptual free-for-all about the various elements and what makes what authentic. The players in the longstanding contemporary jazz band Fourplay have likely heard it all.
