It is so nice, in this age of R&B and Ibiza to find a group who are still able to produce music of a harmonic quality and soft sound that enable the listener simply to listen. I found that I frequently had to stop what I was doing and sit to listen with a faint smile to the great sounds coming from my Hi-Fi. Of especial note is the magnificent version of Phil Collins' "Why can't it wait 'till morning" with the great man himself on vocals! It makes brilliant background music to conversations etc. as truely unobtrusive background music. My advice? Buy it, play it, love it.

Owning as I do all the Fourplay albums up to and including Heartfelt (which, I'm sorry to have to say, was the beginning of the end), this one remains for me their best and my most often revisited (though Yes Please! runs it close). The sound quality's great (nothing like as excessively smooth as most of George Benson's output, for example), the songs are a good mixture of upbeat and reflective whilst the playing, of course, is impeccable without being stiff or stilted. This was the band's third and last album with Lee Ritenour on guitar and, for my money, his successor Larry Carlton just wasn't as good.
Personally, I don't think the two vocal tracks fit at all (I hardly ever find them acceptable on any sort of jazz album) and I always programme them out, though others may disagree.
Oh yes, one other thing ~ this music is worth far, far more than just playing as background muzak, so anyone who describes it as suitable only for elevators or department stores should be swiftly shot and buried in an unmarked grave.

This is Fourplay's third album in sequence and exhibits both the strength of the group's musicianship and the breadth of their instrumental songwriting abilities. From the opening fusion medley of Elixir to the last, delicate ballad In My Corner, the Fourplayers groove their way through a range of jazz and fusion styles. Dream Come True, co-composed by bassist (and occasional singer) Nathan East stands out as a delightful piece of songwriting/arranging, while Phil Collins, and Patti Austin and Peabo Bryson make memorable vocal appearances on Why Can't It Wait 'Til Morning and The Closer I Get To You respectively. Even guitarist Lee Ritenour occasionally breaks lose of his usual restraint (eg. on Dream Come True), while drummer/composer Harvey Mason and executive producer/pianist Bob James each add their instrument's subtle colours. A pleasing album from a calibre band.
