Fourplay - Elixir

Fourplay — Elixir 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

Part of the Chesky Original Masters Series

Hybrid Multi-Channel SACD (with new 5.1 mix) and Dolby Atmos 

Elixir was the third album from the Grammy-nominated smooth jazz supergroup comprised of pianist Bob James, guitarist Lee Ritenour, bassist Nathan East, and drummer Harvey Mason. The follow-up to the band's gold-certified first two albums — 1991's Fourplay and 1993's Between The Sheets — 1995's star-studded Elixir featured vocal cameos from Phil Collins ('Why Can't It Wait Till Morning') together with Patti Austin and Peabo Bryson, who duetted on a fabulous remake of Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's classic soul hit, "The Closer I Get To You." Other highlights include the instrumentals "Play Lady Play," "Magic Carpet Ride," and the simmering title track, which all highlight the band's tasteful alchemy. Elixir has sold more than 500,000 copies in the United States and was certified gold by the RIAA.

The 30th Anniversary Edition of Elixir is newly remastered from the original tapes. Released by evosound on 180-gram One Step Pressing Transparent Double Black Vinyl LP, SACD Hybrid Multi-channel (with new 5.1 mix) and Dolby Atmos on digital.
