Foreplay at the time of this recording comprised Bob James, Harvey Mason, Nathan East and Larry Carlton. They represented some of the most accomplished musicians in Jazz. Whilst it could be argued that all of them play well within themselves, there is no doubt that the musicianship is classy. The concept behind this ‘super’ group is that four musicians come together without leadership responsibilities and just play. This, they do to perfection. James’ acoustic piano is particularly prominent and expressive. Pieces like ‘Little Foxes’, ‘Vest Pocket’ and ‘Rio Rush’ with its inherent catchiness typify the tone of the album. The only cover is a pleasant interpretation of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Sexual Healing’ with El Debarge on vocals.
