Fourplay - Elixir

It is Fourplay

Well what can I say. I have most of Fourplay cds and I love them all. The thing about them is they never get old. It's always something new. This cd is not new but it is great. Smooth jazz at it's best. June 2, 2008

Very Underrated Album!

Elixir is my favorite Fourplay album. A solid album all the way through. Lee Ritenour really shine on this album and its ironic that this was his last album as a member of Fourplay. A must have for your smooth jazz collection. November 6, 2007

Your Cd player will LOVE You

This is a true gem. The production quality here is superb, the bass is nice and low and on even a mediocre system it feels the room beautifully. Very good cuddle music in front of a fire, under a blanket with that special someone,(or someone you are trying to convert to 'special'). I love this CD, I use to play this Cd at my retail sales job to sell audio systems.

Elixer? What a Sweet Potion it is!

Hard to believe they could ever outdo themselves after an awesome debut like "Between The Sheets", but this is a real masterpiece. From the opening title track, right on through, this album never disappoints. It has a little bit of everything - smooth jazz, funk, bop. I can listen to this for hours and never grow tired of it. Hard to decide which is my favorite track. "Magic Carpet Ride" grabbed me and hooked me right off the bat - it starts with a smooth Bob James intro and then, Bamm!, Lee and Harvey are cooking up a storm. "Whisper in My Ear" is a dynamite Jazz/Blues track that just grows on you. Phil Collins does a great guest shot on "Why Can't It Wait Till Morning". The Foursome blends absolutely perfect on the closing track - "In My Corner". Really, every song on this CD is outstanding. I've been a fan of each of these guys as solo artists and as sessions players, but this is where they were meant to be. I have all of the CD's by this group, including the post - Ritenour one's and they are all excellent, but in my opinion, "Elixer" is the best of Fourplay. Buy it! September 3, 2006

mmmmmmm, sweet!

"Elixir" is my second favorite Fourplay album. I got turned onto them from my father. He had bought their first album and I really emjoyed it. Each time they came out with another one, I picked it up. Elixir came along and blew me away! One of my favorite smooth jazz CD's. The other Fourplay CD I really like is "Yes, Please". I have a review on that one also. If you want the definitive collection of Fourplay, get all of them, up to "Heartfelt". "Heartfelt" is OK, but they seem to be going in another direction with their music. I wouldn't recommend "Journey". "Elixir" is a definate "must have" for the smooth jazz fan!! January 6, 2005
