101 EastBound by Fourplay From "An Evening of FourPlay" Guitar: Lee Ritenour Keyboard: Bob James Bass: Nathan East Drum: Harvey Mason My 1st favourite song from Fourplay. Enjoy!
Best performance ever. Nathan at his best with fellow Maestros. South AFRICA....... BEEN LISTENING FOR THE PASS 25 YEARS AND NEVER GETS OLD. Fuad. G....CPT.
All I can say is THANK YOU for contributing to a living legend -- brother Nathan -- been a big fan for MANY YEARS! Thanx for helping 4 Play write the BEST SONG EVER!
I GREW UPI N LA AND I KNOW WHERE THIS FREEWAY IS. THIS SONG IS AT THE TOP OF MY LIST OF FAVORITES. I PLAY IT EVERY DAY. I LOVE 4PLAY AND NATHAN IS TO ME ONE OF THE TOP BASS PLAYER IN THE WORLD. 101 EASTBOUND KEEP ME SANE.THANK Y'ALL FOR MAKING SUCH INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC.
MR. BOB JAMES on the keyboard...MR. LEE RITNOUR on lead guitar, YALL!! NATHAN EAST ON THE BASS!!! It JUST DOESN'T get any better than these WORLD CLASS Musicians on one stage! LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!! THANX 4 THE GREAT POST!
I don't know what I love most about this song...It could be Harvey's snare hits during Bob's solo, the part when he has just switched the sound to the electric piano and they're starting to pick up the pace. It could also be the licks Bob does just after Harveys said snare magic. What I want to say is that it's all about the details. These guys are are all masters of their respective instruments and thats why I still,after a few thousand listens,find new little things everytime I listen to this!
Nathan East is a Philly born jazz r&b, rock bass player & vocalist..consider one of the most recorded players in history..with more than 2000 recordings under his belt...
The best vesion of this song ever play by them!! If the Academy Award pulish off a category named "THE BEST IMPROVISATION" Nathan East could win a grammy award with this one! There´s no doubt about it!!!!!!
@GroovyPiano Agreed. Subtleties like those in this song absolutely make jazz music great. This is why, to me, putting on some jazz on a nice, upscale 2-channel stereo, is like listening for the first time all over again.
MmmmMmmmMmmm...I can jam to this all night! But since I got the new Donald Fagen album, Sunken Condos, I don't know man...y'all should take a listen on iTunes if you haven't already.
I have every album that this group has produced,and I must say that this song and Bali Run are the best 2 of the lot. This is in no way intended to try and take anything away from this great group of musicians.
I remember when i seen Nathan East live in Germany, touring with Al Jarreau back in the 80s. Nice find of him. This tune is very exciting, awsome combo. Thx, peace
What a great song! The bass is great and this is probably one of Lee's nicest grooves on a great Gibson. I was amazed to note the Marshall amp in the background. Bob James somehow has the ability to get musicians working in a way that they probably themselves never knew they could do. Now that's what I'd call musical leadership.
I am loving it . Ive never seen them perform live. They are just an awesome group. I could be having a bad day and ill put on a fourplay cd and instantly feel bettter. Dont their music just make you feel good inside. Maybe its just me but i love them.
Fourplay always sets the mood right for me, on a relaxing evening patio. Candlelight, starry midnight, full bright moon's HOT summer's night. The lucious taste of a deep red merlot, and the delectable eatables. Whatever those eatables may be, lol. Real talk : )
Oops...I posted earlier that another song of theirs was my fave song of theirs, but I'd forgotten of this song. It's the first one of theirs I heard and I fell in love with the song and the group...so I'd have to say THIS song is my fave of theirs.And I agree with bemolable's comment below!

Beatiful,to hear Nathan East and Lee Ritenour together !
Thanks
Dude !!!!!!! this riding music. I left my house jamming this cut, ended up driving from atlanta to athens just to get drunk .
Man!! Look at how these musicians REALLY love music. They're using their insturments to communicate to the souls of many. LOVE IT!!
Nathan East is a Philly born jazz r&b, rock bass player & vocalist..consider one of the most recorded players in history..with more than 2000 recordings under his belt...
And he plays one of the finest bass solos I have ever heard on this track. What an excellent player!!!
Lee Ritenour's guitar tone here is awesome.
I'm a HUGE 4 Play Fan! This is anthem of Southern Cali -- cruz'in up PCH by Malibu way! Lov'in It! R.I.P Harvey, you are sorely missed...
Four Play the best in smooth jazz
The best vesion of this song ever play by them!! If the Academy Award pulish off a category named "THE BEST IMPROVISATION" Nathan East could win a grammy award with this one! There´s no doubt about it!!!!!!
This white BBNE2 is the best bass i've ever come across. It's all there, all the sounds you need.
Yup, I'm from L.A. and I've been on this exact stretch of freeway many a time. Quite unlike its namesake, this track is chilll as can be.
This is a great piece.
Thanks gbi

Essa banda de Jazz e uma de minhas favoritas.Linda essa musica.From Brazil
Nathan's bass riff - every note so perfectly placed it evokes a spiritual euphoria...
Bob writes so many cool tunes that is just impossible to have a favorite. He is a master musician/composer.
I have every album that this group has produced,and I must say that this song and Bali Run are the best 2 of the lot. This is in no way intended to try and take anything away from this great group of musicians.

Nathan East's frenzied delivery set this afire.
This is what i call "Jazz", its happening on my twenties, would i wish more?
...a czas płynie spokojnie i miło...:-))
Cool
I definitely think Lee Ritenour nails the guitar on this track. Beautiful song and thanks for the heads up, Marcel East
Agreed. Best version of the song in my opinion.
PURE MUSIC.DONT GET IT LIKE THIS ANYMORE.
I AGREE SIMPLY AWESOME
geez....speechless...when the solo bass start playing...totally nice play...

This song + A glass of Long Island, is the perfect combination... damn...

Always, what is particularly wonderful is Fouplay's music.
Nathan East = Amazing
