專輯類型: 1CD 發行年份: 2012 國際條碼: 0888072337381 音樂廠牌: Heads Up "When it comes to making music, four is often the magic number. From the Beatles to MJQ, many legendary quartets have made their mark in the classical, pop and jazz traditions. Maybe it's the idea of four talented individuals, each approaching the other three from a unique perspective - like inspired travelers hailing from equidistant coordinates on a map - and bringing all of their talents to bear at a single point. Maybe it's just the sheer mathematical symmetry and balance of the number itself. Whatever the case, Fourplay has accessed that collective magic. Keyboardist Bob James, bassist/vocalist Nathan East, guitarist Chuck Loeb and drummer/percussionist Harvey Mason have tapped into the creative force that emerges when four brilliant players commit themselves to a singular goal. That symmetry and creativity are at the heart of Esprit De Four, their new CD set for release on September 18, 2012 (international release dates may vary) on Heads Up International, a division of Concord Music Group. "In the songwriting and recording process, we were building on the spirit we felt during the making of our previous record, Let's Touch the Sky,"says James, recalling their first recording with Loeb in the guitar position. "We had made the adjustment to Chuck's sound, and had really enjoyed performing the new music on the road. So we were eager to follow up on this new direction the band had taken."Loeb concurs, noting that Esprit De Four is a satisfying balance of the known with the unknown - not just for himself but for his bandmates as well. "We were all in the mood to make an adventurous CD with challenging music, but still maintain that unmistakable Fourplay sound,"he says. "We always try to have fun and keep our spirits united in the effort toward excellence in sound, production and musical content. I personally always want to bring the best songs and performances to my work with these three legendary artists whom I have the great fortune to be working with."Esprit De Four includes contributions from all four members of the band, beginning with the melodic "December Dream,"a song by Loeb that's deceptively quiet and understated on one hand, yet fueled by its own unmistakable energy on the other. Loeb says the song may have started out in his own head, "but once we got into the studio, each guy just brought so much more to the table. ..... 1. December Dream 7:47 2. Firefly 4:11 3.
