Better than their show in Nagoya - Rating: 5/5
I went to see them at Blue Note Nagoya. Then I watched this DVD in Capetown. Their performance was better on this DVD than Nagoya. I guess this is because they spent 5 days in Tokyo and the show I went was their first show at Nagoya. This show in Capetown has much enthusiasm in their performance. And it shows their relief from their world tour ending at this wonderful town.It is such fun to see these cats playing each instrument flawlessly and impeccably. If you like Fourplay, just buy this. Highly recommended.
Not the best from Fourplay - Rating: 3/5
I am a huge Fourplay fan, however this concert was lackluster at best. It had its high points over all it was very generic. I guess I was hoping that he concert was better than the CD which was the worst they have every done.
Veeery good - Rating: 5/5
Fourplay fans just buy it! Excellent musicians. They really know how to enjoy a live performance. A very good DVD
Fantastic Performances - Rating: 5/5
I guess it's categorized as smooth jazz, but that term sometimes has negative connotations, so I don't know if that's a fair way to categorize it. Anyway, there are really stellar performances on this DVD, and I can't stop listening to it.
Great piano playing of Bob James, beautiful bass work of Nathan East, tasty guitar work of Larry Carlton, inspirational, exciting drumming of Harvey Mason, and all-around great compositions.
Beautiful stuff.
A Must-Have - Rating: 5/5
For smooth jazz fans Fourplay, Live in Cape Town is a must-have. Bob, Nathan, Larry, and Harvey are all at their best as they play their standards. The sound quality is perfect, especially for those who have DTS playback on their AVRs. The stage is beautifully lit and the audience is really in to the performance. This concert was recorded in 2005 so the music from their two latest CDs is not included, but it is, nevertheless, a great DVD.
