Amazon.co.uk Review
The latest offering from Larry Carlton, Bob James, Nathan East and Harvey Mason will automatically be dismissed by some critics as smooth jazz, but that would be underselling it. While the surface is certainly glossy, this is ingeniously crafted music with deceptive depths: take, for example, the little pocket of bebop chord changes in "Free Range", or the way bassist East and drummer Mason induce a breathy, almost imperceptible ebb and flow in the Methenyish samba "Double Trouble". Besides, in musical terms "smooth" may also mean "skilfully played" and such is the case here. Even Larry Carlton, who has sounded a little uninvolved in recent years, hits the motherlode on the slow, 14-bar blues "Blues Force". The squeamish might want to pass swiftly over the pillow talk of "A Little Fourplay", but it's a minor indiscretion in a record rich in obvious and hidden delights. --Mark Gilbert

 No thanks... September 18, 2007
Unarguably these are classy musicians. Open the sleeve notes for this album the credits are:
Bob James - Piano
Nathan East - Bass and Vocals
Larry Carlton - Guitar
Harvey Mason - Drums
I considered giving this 3 stars. Yes there is some lovely guitar playing from Larry Carlton and occasionally Bob James plays some real Piano but this is mostly like Jazz FM when it stopped playing Jazz and became Smooth FM. If you liked that you'll love this.
I found it to be over-produced and soulless - you have been warned.
 Silk ,satin and velvet sounds Fourplay's millenium release. November 6, 2000
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Fourplay have put the letter S into super smooth Jazz , adult contempory music. Fourplay the most succesfull project from the legendery Admiral Bob James the veteran Jazz keyboard wizard. Yes Please Fourplay's fifth release remains in the perfect well balanced smooth mould:From downright sexy silk, satin and velvetty strums cooked and sizzled on Larry Carltons guitar to Nathan Easts after hours style soft soothing chants. The symbols and drums of maestro Harvey Mason keep the rhythms flowing.Bob James's keyboard skills never cease to amaze. It looks like another success for Fourplay as Yes Please coincides with the quartets brief 2000 UK winter tour.Yes Please bring you sounds that take you to paradise islands, sounds so soothing that perfect images could come to mind of glossy posters coming to life beautiful people Vogue and Lancome models. Free Range is a light tempo,d moody foot tapper featuring Nathan East's theraputic chant's.Blues Force is typical Carlton's bluesy guitar.Fortress is vintage James allmost classical symphony keyboard style, whilst Go With Your Heart is a seductive pre-dawn theme, even Chante Moore's vocal s on the repetitive Save Some Love For Me Tonight and the unecesarily out of place bland Fourplay a straight nineties R& B sound, are completely overshadowed by the artistry of Fourplays musicians superb instrumental talents. In my opinion Yes Please is strictly for fans of the quartet , however the album does grow on you . Fourplay 4 or The Best of is a more commercial introduction to the bands music. Fourplay's music is very much as the name describes; dimmed lights Malibu poured over ice cubes. Nights on paradise islands with the back ground surf and Nathan East,s Chants.
