Riveting Riffs
There is a nugget at the end of this disc, a tasty surprise waiting. Sultry, smoky Anita Baker shows up to sing the standard “You’re My Thrill.” Baker’s voice is such an incredible instrument; she immediately focuses the band, leading these fine players into a beautiful rendition of the classic melody. The production becomes almost a tease of what the next Fourplay disc might be. Anita Baker and Fourplay? Now there is a combo forged in jazz heaven. […]
