Beauty in improvisation, each one leads at times, Bob (piano), Nathan (bass), Harvey (drums), Lee (Guitar) but then they come together, or alternate, accompany each other, or move away, free tones and expressions, They return and they all flow naturally, they seem to conclude the song but they resume the musical pulse. They reemerge... Wow, it's beautiful, everyone's great, it's simply Pure Jazz!
I was sleeping at 3 a.m and I hear the melody of this song in my head but I couldn’t remember the name of the song. A spiritual voice told me to search because it’s the definition of my new soul journey!❤
I get a kick out knowing there are other people who so appreciate this incredible group and this song like me...I appreciate you all and your great taste in music
This song still gives me chill bumps music is truly heals when artists love what they do, it's not just for the money or fame.Fourplay is one of the greatest bands ever.
There is nothing illegal or sacrilegious about this. Collaborations between premier artistes is where we get the best performances and memorable experiences. When Chuck Loeb passed Kirk Whalum filled in (again another premier artiste lending their talent to an amazing quartet) I look forward to Fourplay's next offering.
All previously stated is so true. Keep in mind that founder Bob James is a master producer and has the talent to mesh different musicians to bring out a fresh and creative vibe to their performance. The late Grover Washington Jr thrived with him. Having Lee Rittenauer certainly doesn't hurt as well. They are just a talented group of jazz musicians.
How many times can You listen to this on repeat and never get tired of it?! … … For Me, there is no number, I can listen to this jam COUNTLESS times over and still be obsessed with it….
Absolutely love Fourplay! One of the best Jazz Bands hands down!!! This gets my day started in the morning when I am feeling a little melancholy! Sunshine on a rainy day!!!!
Just saw Lee Ritenour in concert a couple of months ago in Connecticut. Small venue, seats 250, 3rd row seats, $ 55 per tix. = LIFE IS GOOD/GR8 !!! - 🥳
Harvey Mason is my favorite smooth jazz drummer. He's freaking badass and i studied him and now playing on on an elite lever according to my bands recording engineer and to our lable sony records.
I think Bob James messed up a little bit on the piano but they covered it up really good if you listen I don't remember exactly at what point but I've played the song over and over and over and over in my head a million times not in my head literally listening to the song and he did he missed a beat that's how much I love this song but it's all good on my goodness what an amazing song and group
Wouldn't you like to bring us back in time maybe 25 years ago pre-China, pre-globalism, pre-No-Borders crowd, less virulent Democratic Party/DNC to a much simpler, enjoyable, and healthy life? Our enemies have brought us to our knees proverbially, and shaved the natural lifespans of so many of us.....just sick and sickening.
@@davidwinn721 How do I increase the volume on this Golden, conscious comment! Definitely that's what's needed right now , knowing how we don't know what we don't know , the "elites" probably have this technology hidden somewhere already
@@jayjody You live in a different universe....one not attached to reality....you are part of the rewriters of history...you are more malignant and dangerous than the Wuhan China Plague...open borders.....hopefully, you plan on exiting the country soon and colonizing Mars or Jupiter my friend.....but certainly, not Ur-anus....LOLLL
what I like in this group it lasts for years and there is no war of leadership as in the shabby rock groups with music of second zone! the four are leaders
After years of testing and collecting vintage stereo equipment, I mostly always find Fourplay in the CD section of thrift stores. When I set up a system to test in the store, Chant is always my go to track, when i find it there. So many people stop by and ask who's the group whose playing this or to compliment the selection of music. Chant is one of my all time favorites.
This was one of 4play signature songs back in the day. This use to be one of my Saturday morning songs that I would jump in my 77 trans and cruise along the Ak coastline and watch the sunrise come up over the ocean. Man what a time.
I just keep coming back to enjoy this song . ❤❤❤❤❤❤. I get so tickled watching Phil and Phillip scat.....Its just plain wonderful 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎹🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎸🎸🎸
Lord I love this band and when they put other amazing musicians with them brilliant music is born to have Chaka khan, Patty Austin,El Debarge, Philip Bailey, Phil Perry and Phil Collin’s come on mind gets blown AMAZING.❤❤❤❤
I saw this group when we lived close to New York City oh my goodness absolutely will blow your mind between the sheets that they sang with Chaka Khan I mean you seriously have no words, Lee Ritenour, Nathan East, Harvey Mason, and Bob James and the reason that Bob James stands out so much is that he has a musical instrumental tribute to song because I am from Ireland and it's called Women of Ireland and in Gaelic it means Mna it's amazing to hear this music I mean you don't even have to sing just listening to it you will get hooked like a drug
You know when you have Phil Perry and Philip Bailey sing jazz vocals in the background, you know its gonna be awesome.

They reemerge... Wow, it's beautiful, everyone's great, it's simply Pure Jazz!
...and the musical voices of Philip Bailey and Phil Perry demonstrate what soul sounds like when you love music... when you love Jazz!
You said it so right... You must play and instrument ❤❤❤❤❤
By far, the best callaboration of great musicians that I know of. My favorite group!
Same

Well, well said.
Great collaboration of the finest jazz musicians and Spiritual musicians 😊
Bob james all the way
When music was all about EMOTION and full of TALENT.
You mean before it was performed by talentless emo brats for fame and fortune?
Harvey Mason. One of the greatest. No freak show. Just drums.
One of the BEST Jazz chants of our time.🍷
A true collaboration of some of our finest musicians in the business....💕💕
Nathan East is so underrated!
My roommate at Greyhound training school lend me this CD. I fell in love with this tune
This cut was masterful
Plethora of talent on the case. This is Kool Jazz. Very well done
FourPlay is obviously outstanding! The beauty of all of this is that each musician gets his time to shine and show his brilliance!
Ooo ooh wayO

Oh my goodness 4 play, and all that ever played with them
This song still gives me chill bumps music is truly heals when artists love what they do, it's not just for the money or fame.Fourplay is one of the greatest bands ever.
Philip Bailey and Phil Perry singing harmony, doesn’t get much better than that.
I never noticed that DAM!
You know a band is great when they have guests such as Phillip Bailey, Phil Perry and Chaka Kahn jumping in on the action.
This is one of the greatest songs of all time!
Wow. 2 of my favorite Phils on the same song!!!
Bob James and Harvey Mason,,what should we expect
Every day, all day long, Fourplay music follow me. Love them❤❤❤
Me2. It helps with my mental health.
Ebony and Ivory. Beautiful and perfect. Love how the all enjoy themselves one another and this song.

This is going to be a great year just keep your faith in God and he will lead you the way
I can’t express in words how awesome Chant is. Each time I hear it I love it more. It’s so jazzy yet calming and soothing! IT’s everything!!!!!!
Pure magic. Musicians at the top of their game making music effortlessly and beautifully. This is one of my favorite Fourplay songs.
These guys created such a great vibe and with Phil Perry and Philip Bailey on background vocals the sound was amazing.
This song is one of my all time favorites, and the live performance in Tokyo is spectacular. Gives me goosebumps!
Goosebumpilicious!
Absolutely beautiful!

… For Me, there is no number, I can listen to this jam COUNTLESS times over and still be obsessed with it….
This is what we called jamming together, especially, they're their special guest, these are why all musicians love to jammed together
Jazz contributes to my peace of mind and keeps me grounded in total relaxation😃
I absolutely LOVE this rendition. Lover of Phillip Baily and Phil Perry.
ME TOO!!!
Wow didn't expect to see Philip Bailey over there on the background vocals! Love this song.
Yup, WOW!
Joe O'Bryant
I was shocked ! 😂
What's couple of great singers Phil Perry and Phillip Bailey. 👍
I KNOW!!!! I play this stuff for my students and they love it!
Humble man Phillip Bailey is. A true man of God.
Real Music by REAL musicians!
This is my second favorite song on this album! GREAT MUSIC just keeps getting better
2024 still hearing this? :)
Still listening and grooving.
This will live forever. And still hoping that Lee will reunite again with the original 4play. Much love to you guys 💝
Man...If only there'd been ways of recording studio sessions like this with jazz artists back in the '60's-'70's.
???
@@mynamedoesntmatter8652 Most notably the studio sessions of jazz artists performing on the CTI, Columbia, Blue Note and Milestone record labels.
@@thequietrevolution3404
Like the Liberty Era, 1966-70?
I could listen to this over and over and over for hours. 😁
Synchronicity at its finest.
Absolutely love Fourplay! One of the best Jazz Bands hands down!!! This gets my day started in the morning when I am feeling a little melancholy! Sunshine on a rainy day!!!!

If you believe in Jesus, you and your family will be saved.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful performance.
This cut should be called six play bc here's six of the best musicians and vocalists on the planet PERIOD
Fantastic, Intelligent...comes straight to your mind and stays forever!
I'm setting in my car and listening to this smooth jazZ masterpiece and don't care about the gas I'm burning up .🙏🙏👍👍
One of the best!
Haha!
Amen. Sir
Wauw!!!!!
Awesome

Never stop pursuing excellence.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Thanks man.
Their Harmony together is just Amazing, you can't Stop listening to them, just try, see I told you!.😂💖

Currently building a time machine so I can be part of the crowd when this was performed
Take some of us with you!
Wouldn't you like to bring us back in time maybe 25 years ago pre-China, pre-globalism, pre-No-Borders crowd, less virulent Democratic Party/DNC to a much simpler, enjoyable, and healthy life?

That's actually a good idea, if you really think about it.
This will never age itself out of my playlist! Just groove-tasti-licious!
The best ❤
Wow. Just, WOW!!!
what I like in this group it lasts for years and there is no war of leadership as in the shabby rock groups with music of second zone! the four are leaders
IN THEIR ON RIGHT
The smoothest group in jazz
They're special guest, it's no harm, all well known musicians likes to jam together once in awhile . They Are All Awesome!
After years of testing and collecting vintage stereo equipment, I mostly always find Fourplay in the CD section of thrift stores.

How do you get so much musical talent in the same room?
How do you get so much talent in the same room? Check out the pianist, just sayin'!
@@lynnettehuff6499 None other than the great Bob James.

Four play. Just. Fantastic. Just. Love
. Them. Forever
First time I heard this back in the late 90s driving to Las Vegas, almost wrecked my car pulling over in Needles to listening this awesome chant🥰💯
One of the all time best feel great songs ever written,,thanks fellers
Wow all of these individuals are master's in music.
Background Phil Perry and Philip Bailey are the best 4 octave range voices in the business.
Phil Perry......BRUTAL .....

I think this is illegal to have Philip Bailey and Phil Perry doing background singing. Wow, Fourplay is the best jazz band.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Phil Perry's one heart one love is going to be my fiance's and I wedding song that we we dance to and I'm going to sing to her.
That is to much vocal power in one building.
Perfettamente d’accordo. Altamente illegale
Lord I love this band and when they put other amazing musicians with them brilliant music is born to have Chaka khan, Patty Austin,El Debarge, Philip Bailey, Phil Perry and Phil Collin’s come on mind gets blown AMAZING.❤❤❤❤
