Dave Koz - Off the Beaten Path: Live from Trinidad
A new DVD by the premier contemporary jazz group featuring Bob James, Chuck Loeb, Nathan East and Harvey Mason. Recorded in December 2010, the 91-minute video concert features the band in a grand symphonic setting in Tokyo. Sure to be a fan favorite!
This is the debut of Fourplay, a popular quartet comprised of keyboardist Bob James, guitarist Lee Ritenour, bassist Nathan East, and drummer Harvey Mason. The music sounds more or less like a Bob James small-group date with Ritenour as a major soloist. The style is between jazz, R&B, and pop with an emphasis on lightweight originals, soulful and moderately funky rhythms, and predictable radio-friendly music. Nothing unexpected occurs, but fans of James and Ritenour should enjoy both this CD and Fourplay in general.
