{"product_id":"best-of-fourplay","title":"Best of Fourplay","description":"Fourplay: Lee Ritenour (guitar); Bob James (keyboards); Nathan East (bass); Harvey Mason (drums).\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel includes: Take 6, Phil Collins, El DeBarge, Chaka Khan (vocals).\u003cbr\u003eWhat looked at first like a premature marketing ploy -- a greatest-hits collection after only three albums? -- now makes some historical sense, for founding member Lee Ritenour left the quartet not long after the CD's release. So this is in essence a summary of Fourplay's first edition, a collection of mildly funky, ethereally voiced selections from Fourplay, Between the Sheets, and Elixir, where Ritenour, Bob James, Nathan East, and Harvey Mason integrate their personalities into a smoothly homogenized whole. To sweeten the pot for the hardcore fans, Fourplay recorded three new tracks for the album -- Stevie Wonder's \"Higher Ground\" with vocals by Take 6, \"4 Play and Pleasure,\" and \"Any Time of Day\" -- all fairly uneventful. The musicianship is impeccable, the production velvety, and despite the suitable-for-lovemaking-and-commuting stamp of approval, one wishes that these fine players would just cut loose and really rip once in a while. ~ Richard S.
