This all-star grouping (comprised of keyboardist Bob James, guitar player Lee Ritenour, bassist Nathan East, and drummer Harvey Mason) was formed in 1991 after the quartet came together on portion of James' Grand Piano Canyon record album. They have since recorded a number of CDs for Warner Bros. that have all been big-sellers, not surprising considering the popularity of James and Ritenour. Larry Carlton took o'er the guitarist's spot in the late '90s, number one appearing in Fouplay on the band's successful 1998 album, 4. The group's music borders on jazz with some strong improvisations miscellaneous in with gravid doses of bug out and R&B, around what one would await from these studio musicians.
