“I love the record… I wish I could do anything as well as Fourplay makes music.”
Carol Archer, Smooth Jazz Editor, R&R

“They have perfected their formula with fresh contemporary jazz originals composed by each of the members with a couple of vocal tracks. Guest vocalist Esperanza Spalding adds romance singing ‘Prelude For Lovers.’ These guys are getting a little older but still doing their thing producing another album their fans will love.”

“A crew of great players, you can tell they aren’t content to make another record that simply sounds like another record. It might be deceptively simple at times, but it smokes. A great find for fans of light jazz looking for record they can trust that will give them their money’s worth.”
