Super group Fourplay delivers another solid, straight-ahead meets contemporary jazz with the of ESPIRIT DE FOUR. The follow up to 2010s LET'S TOUCH THE SKY, this is the second album to feature the groups newest member, guitarist Chuck Loeb. One of the more notable tracks on the album is the Bob James composition InchPut Our Hearts TogetherInch which he wrote for a concert in the region severely impacted by the devastating Japanese tsunami of 2011.

Here is a sampling of some of the most active Jazz vocalists of the 1920's, '30's and '40's Louis Armstrong, Ivy Anderson, Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Bessie Smith, Sonny Terry and Ma Rainey. They are backed by equally big-time instrumentalists Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellington, Jimmy Dorsey, Count Basie and Bix Beiderbecke who, according to legend, threw a week's pay on the floor the first night he heard Bessie Smith, hoping her singing would never end.
