ONE Amazing group of men whose music is truly a gift to the world. Been listening to Bob James since childhood. I'm only 63 now.
Get a glass of wine or two and enjoy this band that I've listened to for almost 40 years. This is REAL music!!!
totally agree.......
Wrong this some fire fake music
Been listening since 89 love this unique group
Fuck yeah David I'm all in

RIP to one of my favorite guitarists Chuck Loeb.
Nathan East doesn't even look like he's trying--he makes it look so easy--probably one of the best bass players ever
If not THE best
@@adamabdurahaman9273 I think Stanley Clarke will give him a good run for that title
Wao what an ensemble. Perfecto
Effectively
*"Who's WHO"*??? In the "ZOO".???❤😊
I have listened to this at least 20 times in the past 5-6 years. Better every time. Well done Bob James, Nathan East, Chuck Loeb, Harvey Mason, and the Japanese ensemble. Absolutely superb. RIP Chuck Loeb.
What a wonderful sorld
(JAZZ!MUSIC)! CLASS! (PERSONNEL)! NOW! YOU! KNOW! THE! ORIGINAL! (JAZZ!MAN)! BLACK!MAN! 🙂*MIKE! SPENCE! HA! HA! HA!
Yes, have missed Chuck Loeb may he rest in piece
Cant help but just admire how Graceful Harvey Mason plays the drums. He is simply EXCELLENT.
Definitely true
In the pocket
This music is wonderful. It is a pleasure to listen to it and see these great artists play. The song I'll still be lovin' you, is beautiful.
Timeless performance. I can't believe that after more than 12 years that this live performance is still so excillirating and masterfully recorded. Kudos to the video and recording engineers for capturing every nuance and the synergy of these Fourplay musicians and the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra. It's like being in the audience. What a superb experience! This is truly a gift to humanity.
Chuck Loeb your legacy lives forever. RIP
Jazz masters in their own right
More than 12 years? It's been 10 :)
Jazz masters is an understatement. 40:03
@@jounigames5876 No; the credits report the concert was in 2010. The comment to which you replied was written about 1 year ago.
Chuck Loeb R.I.P. - amazing musician, composer...
What a big loss for the world of music!
You left to us your music and wonderful singer Carmen Cuesta-Loeb.
Was just sharing the vid with some mates and still haven't gotten over Loeb san's passing. Wonderful sentiment mate.
Chuck passed away? Wow. Rest in Power. In my mind Bob, Harvey, Nathan and each of the guitarists they rotated in are all legends.
Who knew that a drummer could be such a spectacular songwriter? "Argentina" and "More Than A Dream" are so beautiful!
I didn't know the drummer wrote Argentina. As a side note, I actually prefer this version to the original (studio) version by quite a bit. This is an amazing version of Argentina, indeed.
Chuck Loeb was a wonderfully skilled musician. We need more musicians like him. Love his work with Fourplay!
Amen ❤❤
R.I.P MAESTRO CHUCK LOEB
I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to see Nathan East live in action when he accompanied Eric Clapton in a concert in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia many many years ago...yes! He brought along his electric double bass...while then I was a big fan of Eric Clapton but seeing Nathan playing for the first time it made me a fan of his for life.
Four great musicians collaborated playing their respective instruments with love and passion. RIP Chuck Loeb. You'll be missed greatly.
This has been our favorite of all of Fourplay.
An absolutely "soul" lifting experience! This is what "MUSIC" is to me! Music has never, nor will it ever TELL ME A LIE! If you can't play, We'll "all' know right away! NO DOUBT! In the world of music I can have EXPECTATIONS that will ALWAYS BE MET! When I listen to JAMES BROWN, TOWER OF POWER, THE METERS, I CAN EXPECT TO HEAR THE "FUNKIEST" GROOVES known to mankind, When I listen to FOURPLAY I can expect and prepare myself to listen to most of the cuts over & over again and everytime I hear the same tune, I KNOW I'm going to hear something I missed the first, second, third, forth and so on, time around! MUSIC NEVER HAS AND NEVER WILL LET ME DOWN OR LEAVE ME HANGING! BUT IT ALWAYS LEAVES ME WANTING "MORE!!!!"
Yes man!!!! Very nice!!! 👏🏻👏🏻💥💥
Harvey Mason is phenomenal here … his control is off the scale … and credit to the engineers … you can hear every note, no matter how quiet, even the ghost notes …
Yes, the drum tones were setup great to hear all his smooth touches.
A truly outstanding drummer, so is a wonderful person!!
The world misses you, Chuck Loeb! RIP
That really shook me. I've just know him. What a lost. BTW, what is that Tele shaped acoustic/spanish sound guitar? Maybe you know.

I have been a fan of Bob James from the days of the theme of "Taxi", but was amazed he was part of Fourplay, where I realized he gather four giants of jazz.
Only through music can people of all backgrounds work together in peace and harmony!
cooking and farming, building homes, teaching, learning, sports.
lots more ways than in only music. women caring for children.
what a lovely way to work together....making music....thank God it has no colour!
What a limited vision
What can I say, after listening for a while, "Masters at large"!!!
This is what I grew up with ....I can say I love this song and this gruup....
This guitarist is kickin it...
Dude & Miss,This cool group is really fun,when it comes to arranging their improvisations,OK,that's really cool...
One of the best smooth Jazz band in the world. I have an autographed copy (by all members) of one of their albums. I have been a fan since their formation.

He was and always will be my favorite guitarist. He had quite a range.
Keep on listing to this on and on and on.......anytime of the day or night...simply too good
Me too
Fourplay is a group that just has the power to provide the...………..' smooth groove'. Those sounds just raise the level of your spirit and thought processes. Just one superb group of musicians.
Love these folks together. So sad about Chuck Loeb.
Mega talented performers. ❤️❤️❤️🎵
RIP Chuck Loeb
From Uganda, and enjoying living here....in this majic.
Since the 70's

Finding little hidden gems like this makes life worth living.

Only thing is.... This is a huge gem 💎
Fully agree 🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful! Glorious!
Priceless
I SO miss Chuck Loeb. Still can't believe he is gone.....RIP
One of their best performances I have ever seen! They truly rock!
4 man with amazing talent...
four Play and sypro gyra is my all time favorite JAZZ GROUPS. . . THANKS
Fantastici artsti che creano una magnifica magia musicale !!!!!!!!!!!!! e quello che sento dire dopo averli ascoltati .....................
I'm a 72 year of male that fell in love with each and every note played in the video. I have all the Fourplay and Chuck Loeb albums so at one time or another I've heard each composition. But not for the untimely death of Chuck Loeb that drew me to the youtube channel and "Live in Tokyo", All I can say is thanks.
Indeed
Obviously great task in music Curtis!!
Harvey Mason Sr. The master of economy of movement. No wasted energy. Every ounce invested in the delivery of mastery.
+wallace brown Perfectly stated.
Back in the day when everybody was raving bout Steve Gadd i always maintained that Harvey could give him a run for his money anytime. Check out his drumwork on "The World is a ghetto" From George Bensons "In Flight" album. Just bloody amazing !!!
Harvey & Gadd are two masters ! they have their own qualities, not the same...They are both at the top of drumming.
IN A SUIT NO LESS
Wallace, you have a way with words -- much like how Mr. Mason has authority in his craft. Well summed, Mr. Brown.
I think Bob James is the best musician in the world. I've been listening to his music since 1976 and he's been better since then, he could be likened to an old wine......
Bob James is the modern era Chopin,he is a producer, arranger, pianist , composer all rolled into one..........
He is incredible. Great composer and musician. Has such a unique style and technique
@@charlestenabe1552 His command of the piano is other worldly.
Love how they look at each other with admiration and love. Must have been amazing time for them.
“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” -Confucius
Just doesn't get better than this! What a group, what virtuosity, musicianship, craft and humanity!
Amen.
Outstanding! I love how Jazz musicians appreciate each other!
Talented musicians. Music played with such ease that it looks simple. Four play and the orchestra - an amazing blend
These absolute mad lads are an accurate definition of magic! bravo!
Best sound i have ever heard in a live performance. Wish i was there.
Nathan East is a monster on bass!!
+Jon Bergan and the next one
John325 A MONSTER WITH an ANGEL HEART!!! ALWAYS SMILING 24/7 AMAZING ! LIKELY HOLDING A VISA PASSPORT TO HEAVEN !!! AMEN !!!
HE IS AN ANGEL IN BASS
They are indeed a gift to the musical world, true virtuosos all.
I think so !
Adore to listen to this terrific musicians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always pure delight
It's amazing how Chuck accompanies Nathan's vocals on Eastern Sky. Pure magic. RIP Chuck Loeb.
Was listening and watching them play with teary eyes in awe. This is so beautiful ❤
Every time I play this concert ! Whether deep in thought , focused on late night course , project or sales proposal or quarterly business review that has both fear and urgency , or being romantically engaged, or sad, or feeling melancholy!! This concert lifts me up, keeps me inspired really get it done , and always stimulates or initiates a return to joy and wholeness - and no fear ! Bob James’s his musical arrangements (from thevtaxi car tv series theme song) up to now are inspired by the Holy Spirit- a gift from God that lifts our souls
These Guys are the fantastic Fourplay
I grew up on Bob James. I was 9 years old. My older brother use to play his music, and I still listen to Bob James in 2021. His music and fourplay's music is timeless
Four great musicians doing what they do best,playing great music. I wish more folks would listen to smooth jazz. RIP Chuck Loeb. You are sadly missed by all
Heaven welcomes Chuck Loeb. We miss your guitar and you.....
A very impressive blending of subtle rhythms and pleasant melodies with a full orchestra in a concert setting. Excellent musicianship in all respects.
Quite a pleasant observation very appropiate

This music represents Sunday morning, Rainy days,and memories past for me!!!😎
Good afternoon! It is a very warm and humid Sunday. Greetings from the 🇵🇭. I guess you and me both, music making it a bit cooler! 👍🍻❤️
I was lucky enough to see them in concert at the Rehoboth Jazz Festival… Amazing!
this is the best group jazz fusions of the planet.
WONDERFUL!! Love Four Play and Bob James
The level of sophistication in their music is just enormous ..
Every note is well balanced and thoughtful they are ALWAYS a pleasure to listen to
PRICELESS CONCERT ...
R.I.P. Chuck Loeb - What a loss to the Jazz industry
Jazz Industry?
I would call it jazz world. But ok, I´m not American.
Sounds great on a good stereo.
Nathan East has to be one of the best - and most versatile - bass players of our time. Awesome talent!
ABSOLUTELY!!
Bob James....? any time ...any day...he is super to the Keyboard. This is very exciting and pleasant to the ears and heart...
Sir yes SIr°! Of course. Four play will always be very pleasant music. for every time, anywhere. If you like the best music. Mention that FIrst of all was, Lee Ritenour, then, Larry Carlton and now changes by Chuck Loeb, but anyway is so beautiful, all of them are professional ones. !
They are unbeliaveble
Yes¡ Bob James is a truly giftted musician.
@@juanjotm4821 . How to make how to make navy bean soup
Yes I agree with you. Bob James means = joy and peace in every song. Thanks a lot for his compositions. A real master of this wonderful music called- Jazz. !
This concert in Tokyo by Fourplay is awesome, especially listening to this concert with headphones.
No modern headphones would ever beat an old-style Hi-Fi sound system with classic audiophile speakers.
Why would it be better with headphones
@@thelowprofile9767 Essaie donc, et tu nous diras la suite....
I’m wish I could like 1000x. This level of joy is surreal. Thank you Four Play and orchestra for leaving this legacy !
Top of the line jazz group
This is an incredible concert between the Tokyo Orchestra, and Four Play.
real musicians sharing in such a beautiful way!
Smooth Jazz in it's most perfect incarnation. This line up was at our Jazz Festival a few years ago, and I happened to kind of sneak in to the sound check and they played two chords of a song and I yelled out "101 Eastbound!!!!" Nathan spotted me and called back, "Now THAT's a fan." I replied "It was me who recommended you to the Committee."
Real Music with Inner Soul Expressions. The sense of Peace it brings is Surreal.
Very cool smooth Jazz. Excellent arrangements. These cats just get better as time goes on. Also the orchestra executed perfectly.
I love this band. Bob James has been my favorite pianist for 40 years, and these guys together are just awesome. I can't say enough about the proficiency of each!
Fantastic!!
Great quartet and the orchestra is spot on. In the mid 70's when I was still in the Philippines I bought my very first jazz album. It was Touchdown by Bob James. It had the picture of a football ball and I was bit puzzled what touchdown meant! Fortunately Bob James visited the Philippines either late 70's or very early 80's and I remember that Hubert Laws was with him. Bob's hair may be grayer & thinner but the music still as good as before. And hats off to the audio engineer for the great sound.
The last play, Night on the bald mountain, a great way to close a memorable concert, perfect fusion on Jazz and Classical music. superb.
What an amazing concert .. world class jazz musicians and world class orchestra .. Well done. Kudos to all that were involved.
Аmazing performance! Supreme pleasure! I could look it 1,000 times!
ti si decko droga
... I've done already ...
Wow! Especially that rendition at the end of Westchester Lady! 👍👍👍
RIP Mr Chuck Loeb you are an amazing guitar player and always will be!!! SHALOM!!!
Came back to see this after 5 years,RIP Chuck,this live brings so many memories cause the twelve songs are so perfect
Wow, magnificent. I keep coming back to listen to this show.
Beautifully composed and mixed production. Thanks for sharing.
This concert although made in 2013 is excellent quality both in music selection but also picture quality.. The Japanese Orchestra is superb.
I LOVE FOURPLAY SO MUCH
These seasoned musicians are extremely creative and polished. Four Play are teachers.
maestros very tight yet creative timing: immaculate
One of my favorite Jazz groups. Love all the sounds put out. 😻
In my opinion this is the greatest collection of jazz musicians.march2022.
Chuck Loeb was such an incredible guitarist. A true loss. May he rest in piece knowing the joy and inspiration he spread to so many people.
Love.
Wow!!! So many wonderful moments. Every song has places where I just want to rewind and listen over and over again!
Perfect compositions that put your mind and stress at rest with a state of exhilarating tranquility and bliss. No better way to lower your blood pressure and forget all the ills that we see or hear in these troubled times. This is my getaway to just enjoy the pure joy of music.
Well stated! Exactly my words, as well. Transports us to another place of goodness, order, and joy.
I could listen to these guys all day everyday!!!!
Me to
I have listened this music for a several time and can't stop enjoying,what a musicians !!!
Every time I listen to them, I feel like having a wonderful cleansing bath in pure water.
These guys must have an excellent soul to produce such fine sound.
Fourplay is the ultimate. Beautiful.
This is heavenly. When the orchestra joins...wow wow wow. Absolutely magical!
Agreed. Precision accompanied by fluidity.
This is just amazing. There are no words to describe how good this concert makes me feel. All musicians are performing at top level. Let's the music take over. Mmhhh .... this is so very good. I just love the jazzy, groovy, funky and soulful mood. This is a TOP NOTCH performance and I love it so much! Very nice indeed! 👍
This really has to be released in all formats, all the best from Scotland..
