Fourplay Background Information
Fourplay is an American smooth jazz group. They released their first album in 1991. Originally, the band consisted of Lee Ritenour (guitars), Bob James (keyboards), Nathan East (bass), and Harvey Mason (drums). However, in 1998, Lee Ritenour left the band and chose Larry Carlton to be his replacement.
In August 2006, the band went on tour in Asia. It proved to be an outstanding success for the band, with enthusiastically sold-out concerts in Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur. The following month, the band’s new album “X” rose to no.
more 1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart for the fifth straight week.
Fourplay has recently finished its tour in Japan. Sometimes, it seems that even though the years pass, the energy at Fourplay performances never seems to fade away. Japan became true evidence to that both young and old came out in full force to support their favorite band. Their exciting shows will surely be remembered for years to come.
Fourplay's most recent album called "X" was nominated for the Best Pop Instrumental Album at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards. Each artist contributed two songs to the new album, rounding it out with a Steve Winwood song”My Love’s Leavin.” It featured the grand vocals of Michael McDonald. This release offers another perspective of how the band continues to grow, writing and performing together, with excellence.
