This 1997 Best Of CD is a compilation of selected tracks from Fourplays first three albums, 1991's self-titled debut, 1993s Between The Sheets, & 1995s Elixir plus three 'new' tracks. I must say though that this CD in my opinion is a bit too early in Fourplays career to really have a best of CD. The group have thrown out three CDs since this collection came with 1998s '4' being a jazz masterpiece and it has lots of strong material that could've been put on this 'Best Of' CD had it been released later. Fourplay are a very talented jazz group and really stand out in my opinion in the smooth jazz field. The only better jazz band in that field is Dancing Fantasy although their music is more on the New Agey side. My favorites are the danceable Bali Run, the lovely rendition of The Isley Brothers 'Between The Sheets', the eclectic Max-O-Man, and 4Play & Pleasure. The one song though that beats everything else on this CD is the stunning version of Phil Collins Why Can't It Wait Till Morning which features Phil himself on vocals and it beats out the original version and ranks as the one of the best songs that Fourplay have ever performed. WCIWTM keeps this CD a five-star. A worthy collection that is worth it just for track 4 and track 12 alone.:) ~ "Nicholas Computer"
