| Elixir is the latest release from Smooth Jazz Artist | | | | Elixir Release Notes: |
| Fourplay, and I can only think of one word to | | | | Fourplay originally released Elixir on August 22, 1995 |
| describe it... AWESOME! | | | | CD Track List Follows: |
| I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that | | | | 1. Elixir |
| I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and | | | | 2. Dream Come True |
| comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is | | | | 3. Play Lady Play |
| usually a song or two that I just can't force myself | | | | 4. Why Can't It Wait Till Morning - (with Phil Collins) |
| to get through. Not at all the case with Elixir. Every | | | | 5. Magic Carpet Ride 6. Whisper In My Ear |
| track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to | | | | 7. Fannie Mae |
| listen to from start to finish. | | | | 8. The Closer I Get To You |
| Elixir is a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are | | | | 9. East 2 West |
| very well constructed songs. | | | | 10. Licorice |
| If you're even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you'll | | | | 11. In My Corner |
| enjoy this CD. Overall Elixir is an outstanding release. I | | | | Fourplay: Nathan East (vocals, fretless, 5- & |
| give it my double thumbs up. You will not be | | | | 6-string basses); Lee Ritenour (guitar, synthesizer, |
| disappointed with one single track. | | | | programming); Harvey Mason (jew's harp, marimba, |
| While the entire CD is outstanding some of my | | | | drums, bongos, congas); Bob James (keyboards, |
| favorites are track 2, Dream Come True, track 4 | | | | synthesizer, programming). Additional personnel: Phil |
| Why Can't It Wait Till Morning with Phil Collins, track | | | | Collins, Patti Austin, Peabo Bryson (vocals); Ken |
| 11, In My Corner | | | | Freeman, Harvey Mason, Jr. (programming); Heather |
| My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got | | | | Mason, Vern Arnold, Cisco (background vocals). |
| Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 8, The | | | | ELIXIR was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award |
| Closer I Get To You. Very nicely done! | | | | for Best Contemporary Jazz Performance. |
