Fourplay ...yes please Jazz CD


Does anyone own this CD as well as their other works? I have this CD and like it a lot, but before rushing out to purchase their other stuff I would like to know if it is similiar to this album.

Also, if you own this CD, could you recommend some other artists very similiar?

Tireguy just kills me!!! Angela100 too, following Bob James for 25 years...WOW. I guess Tireguy was right in saying "to each their own". Unbelievable.
Sorry guys, Fourplay stinks!!! It's not good jazz, and I frankly hesitate to call it jazz. Unfortunately, groups and individuals such as Fourplay, The Rippingtons, Dave Koz, Spyra Gyra, and Kenny G have grossly misrepresented the genre. Perticularly Kenny G, whom I feel should be incarserated. Down with Kenny G, up with T. Monk, George Gables, Paul Desmond, Kenny Burrell, and Bill Evans.
You know I'm going to commend Brianw for taking the position he has. Sometimes my passion for vintage jazz gets the best of me. Tireguy was right..."to each there own" if smooth jazz moves you, then that's wonderful. But please try listening to Monk, Sun Ra, Art Pepper, etc., give it a shot. I too appologize for my strong remarks.
