FOURPLAY – Elixir (1995) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

The third outing from Fourplay (Lee Ritenour, Nathan East, Bob James, and Harvey Mason clubbing together) is another lightly sautéed jazz offering, low-key and relaxed. Vocals this time are contributed by Phil Collins, East, Patti Austin, and Peabo Bryson (the latter two on an undistinguished version of "The Closer I Get to You"), but the main attraction for most is likely to be Ritenour's flexible guitar work.
