The culmination of Fourplay: the greatest performance in history

Nathan East always play just what's needed. He doesn't overplay. He doesn't underplay. He's so good!

Nathan East-bass and vocals, Bob James--piano, Harvey Mason--drums and Larry Carlton--guitar. Damn, how good does it get!!

What's not to like. Videos like this make me so glad for the grace of God to be alive to enjoy this amazing music.

The deliciousness of each member of the band individually is out of this world but together .... wow ! Nathan is such a joy to listen to ; Harvey is a master ; Larry is taste personified & Bob James is stunning ... the version of 101 Eastbound here ... well ....

20-years ago and Blues Force still blows me away. Incredible performances throughout. Thanks for sharing.

Each of the Fourplay's musicians is a show in itself. In addition, it was impressive to see how Mr. Loeb fit into Fourplay as if he had always been there. R.I.P.

I love this song, Chant. There's a video that is awesome. I've listened to it many many times. I can just see myself at this Jazz Festival enjoying the breeze, music, food, and people. Wonderful Wonderful.

Man I just love the way Nathan so visibly enjoys Bob's solo in '101 Eastbound'... such joy... wish I had been there in the late afternoon breeze and sunshine to enjoy it.... love it!

Larry Carlton off the scale, played with everyone, sight reading music charts, makes it look easy a true guitarists guitarist.

I always appreciate when a guitarist actually plays a blues solo amongst jazz players. Sometimes we get peer pressured into toning it down and not bending notes only to watch a tenor sax do exactly what they just told us not to do...Nope not here lol. You play a blues you play a BLUES solo like this man right here did. What a set!

God I love Larry. I think he was the best guitarist for them. His understated style is just elegant and beautiful. I love Lee and Chuck though also!

I've been watching this video for 5 years and I still love it.

Timeless these guys are and their kind of style in jazz. AWESOME!!!

The ultimate combination of famous artists and powerful music and sound systems that have been rehearsed for a long time.

Oh my God ! oh my God ! Bob is amazing, Nathan is amazing, Harvey is amazing, Larry is amazing !! Fourplay is amazing !!!

This is by far the fest best footage of fourplays!!! specially at Newport jazz festival the perfect surroundings the perfect stage saw these guys in Chicago on short notice of the gig...in a small jazz club back in 2000 fantastic!!.. got to meet the boys it was great!!

Masters of their craft, every single one of them. WOW.

Nathan East and Larry Carlton so smooth for years!!

Excellent concert (la vingtième fois que je le regarde...) L'élégance d'un groupe, la richesse des compositions par des musiciens de génie ! Merci de nous offrir cette pépite !

Amazing Artists and cohesion! The sound is almost identical to the Studio recordings, eee Gods! This whole production and venue come together in lifelong memories and resolve.

7년째 듣는다.. 최고다 진짜

The thirst to "just jam" is strong here. Just music. No pretence. No engineered "recipe". No marketing.

Larry is AMAZING all along.. playing such sharp and high tune so acurately..not only one single false note...how is it possible... Amazing ....!!!!!! All of the members are just the finest you could listen on this earth.

J.V.C. Newport fest.2020 One of the few BIG name Contemporary jazz bands allowed to play the Fest.in the last 20yrs. Boney James & Rick Braun! Please bring THIS music back Newport!

This music has been my inspiration since I learned to play piano at nine years old. Thank you Bob James for the love I have felt to share with the world.

I have seen twice...and it is magnific. Your spirit gets so high..and fellings are with your heart.!!

This is a great line of musicians, Larry masters music in most areas, Bob James is an icon with his own merits!

These guys are the greatest! Great to see them in high def. thanks for the upload. RH

My Self and Jackie Santos , who is now a drum teacher at Berklee College of music and a good friend of Harvey Mason ,listened to the whole gig right on the stage left of Harvey. Damn one of the best musical moments of my life. Through the years i've seen at the jazz festival too many greats to mention. in my home i have the first program from 1954. A treasure.

101 Eastbound is such a good song. One of my favourite.

great! to have people like dat is gift of God. now am stressfree wow!

Thank you for sharing! I found a new band to love!

This band is heaven's sent ❤ I couldn't love you more and be soooo grateful for such amazing talents 👐🤗🎉🎉 Thank you guys for your music it soothes my soul ❤️ It never gets old, on the contrary your music is like the wine 🍷 the more I listen to it, the more flavor and beauty I find in it. I can easily spend hours replying this concert 🤗❤️ Thank you sooo very much for this almost forever gift to the rest of us 👐🎉🎉🎉 L❤ve you guys to the moon and back!!! God bless y'all!!! 🤗❤️🎉🎉🎉

I want to keep it forever

Ces 4 musiciens sont de vrais génies de la musique !!! Leur musique est un médicament, c'est incroyable

GENIOUS...Thanks for share..God bless

All sounds great on my system. Been to this venue many times... front row, middle, back, edges.... the sound is great live.... Wynton Marsalis and his Lincoln orchestra was a killer on both Friday night at the T. Hall of fame and also Saturday... Having grown up in Cranston, Rl, we are blessed with such a venue and George Wein's vision... Bring more acts like this... perhaps Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer doing some old time jazz numbers and some fusion??? Pass it on and enjoy...

23 years ago... I can't recall Video being that Clear!

this is one elevador ,,,, that goes all the way to the top

コロナがおさまったらこんな開けた所で素晴らしい音楽をききてぇなぁ。 ネイザン・イーストカッコええわ～

Windy days like that are a nightmare if you´re reading on the stand and playing outdoors!

I like the expression on face of the guy sitting on the stage while they were playing eastbound..he digs it !

Too bad to have to interrupt enjoying this fantastically beautiful music due to KZfaq's many commercials. Music must be enjoyed live!

Hard to believe this was 23 years ago. Time flies!

You guys give reason to life!!! you are the best live Instrumental band alive. #loveu4eva

This Band is soo perfect. Cool, laidback...seems like they really enjoy.

Stumbled upon their Elixir album a friend of man had back in the day. Been a fan since. I wanna see them live! Love there work and their music saved my life!! Use to listen to them when I was deployed and it always brought me back to a positive mindstate.
