Description
The third album from Fourplay (Lee Ritenour, Nathan East, Bob James, and Harvey Mason) is a lightly sauteed jazz offering, low-key and relaxed, bringing a sublime sense of form and interplay to the contemporary jazz genre. Vocals this time feature Phil Collins, Nathan East, Patti Austin and Peabo Bryson (the latter two on a smooth version of The Closer I Get to You). Phil Collins adds his special touch on the vocals of the track that he wrote, Why Can't It Wait Till Morning, a poignant and beautiful song. Tracks in this album are a good mixture of upbeat and reflective. Ritenour' s flexible guitar playing is one of the gems of the album, and this is the last album with him in the team. Elixir was the third gold album from Fourplay and it reached the number one position on Billboard's contemporary jazz chart and remained on the chart for more than 90 weeks.

Description

Elixir was the third album from the Grammy-nominated smooth jazz supergroup comprised of pianist Bob James, guitarist Lee Ritenour, bassist Nathan East, and drummer Harvey Mason. The follow-up to the band's gold-certified first two albums - 1991's Fourplay and 1993's Between The Sheets - 1995's star-studded Elixir featured vocal cameos from Phil Collins ('Why Can't It Wait Till Morning') together with Patti Austin and Peabo Bryson, who duetted on a fabulous remake of Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's classic soul hit, 'The Closer I Get To You.' Other highlights include the instrumentals 'Play Lady Play,' 'Magic Carpet Ride', and the simmering title track, which all highlight the band's tasteful alchemy. Elixir has sold over 500,000 copies in the United States and was certified gold by the RIAA.
The 30th anniversary edition of Elixir is newly remastered from the original tapes. Released by evosound on 180g One Step Pressing Transparent Double Black Vinyl LP, SACD Hybrid Multi-channel (with new 5.1 mix) and Dolby Atmos on digital.
