Fourplay "Energy"

Como todo animal sou passional ao extremo e ainda tenho um defeito maior, não suporto ignorância, talvez seja o pior defeito do ser humano e por isso as vz a gente se perde no caminho, mas mesmo despendendo energia que poderia ser direcionada pra coisas mais úteis, ainda sinto que valeu a pena.

Esse é o Lobo.

Mas fui chamado a atenção e com razão pelo amigo e parceiro ZM, que nosso objetivo aqui é passarmos bons momentos juntos e ao som de boa música.

E posso garantir que FourPlay é o que de melhor surgiu em termos de jazz e música negra, o qual tive o primeiro contato com o "Fourplay - An Evening Of Fourplay: Volumes I And II DVD" e trocando idéia com o ZM ele me enviou este tb fantástico trabalho desses mestres da música.

O"An Evening" tem um diferencial monstruoso ao meu ver que os backing vocals são feitos nada mais nada menos por Phil Perry e Phillip Bailey além da participação de Chaka Kan; mas este não fica devendo em nada, prq o clima é o mesmo de amigos fazendo o que gostam e o principal sabendo o que fazem.

Tenho certeza que aqueles que baixarem terão uma sessão musical de primeira linha e de muito bom gosto, espero curtam tanto qto curto tb.Fourplay has long been a supergroup of fusion and smooth jazz, consisting of:

keyboardist Bob James,
guitarist Larry Carlton,
bassist Nathan East,
and drummer Harvey Mason, each a leader in his own right.

For their debut on the Heads Up label, Fourplay works some world music influences into their mix.Also, emerging vocal star Esperanza Spalding makes an appearance.
But fear not, Fourplay fans, there are still plenty of the hallmarks of their sound--colorful melodies, funky-easy grooves, and classy keyboard and guitar solos.

Energy is the 11th studio album by jazz group Fourplay, released on September 23, 2008.
The cover show the four members: keyboardist Bob James, guitarist Larry Carlton, bassist Nathan East and drummer Harvey Mason. Energy grafts a variety of sounds – R&B, pop, African and more – to Fourplay’s unwavering jazz foundations.In addition to vocals by East – a charter member since the band’s inception in 1990 –the album also features a vocal track by Esperanza Spalding, the upright bassist, composer and vocalist who has recently taken the jazz world by storm with her self-titled recording debut earlier this year on Heads Up.

JazzTimes (p.75) - "'Fortune Teller' starts us off with a romp through the classic Fourplay bedroom oeuvre and allows James and Carlton ample opportunity to interact, as does James' own 'Look Both Ways'....The Fourplay bassist's falsetto has never sounded better."Track listing
