En Route

Customer Rating:
They have a fresh new sound, that make me thing about the old days old BeeBop music. The sound is very laid back and just wonderful to listen too. This is one for the collection.

Don't put them in a bag!!

"Nocturnal"was my first Four80East c.d. and I have loved them ever since. I don't approach my music purchases with the idea that the artist should be playing solely jazz, funk or whatever other genre of music. Four80East defies all of that anyway and they haven't disappointed me yet. The thing I love most about this band is that they are so inventive and don't rely too much on a formula. En Route continues that tradition. There are no two songs on this disc that sound alike. There are two or three songs that have familiar elements in them, but they all have their own unique flavor. This is one of the few recordings I have ever listened to in which I like every cut! I am sucker for great melody and they have it mastered! I am a proud Four80East fan and am glad to have this one in my collection.

En Route Has Arrived!!!

Customer Rating:
This is my first Four80East CD, but it definitely won't be my last... If you've read some of my other reviews, I've gotten somewhat bore of Smooth Jazz, well, it's probably more Smooth Jazz radio than anything else. So I wasn't expecting too much when I purchase this CD. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprise listening to En Route. This album is definitely a toe-tappin', head-noddin', and in some cases, a rump-shakin' joint. To paraphrase the original Funkmaster himself, George Clinton, "if you like a little Doobie in your Funk" give this CD a try... So far my favorite track, 51 Division, is sizzlin'....

Pleased with En Route

After listening to samples, I thought I'd take a gamble on a group I'd never really listened to before. If you're into a more modern, groovy-smooth kind of jazz; this is what you want. I must say, I don't love the first track. It's an otherwise decent composition with with some annoying "twilight zone" music chiming in over it. The rest are great, indeed for a road trip of just chillin. I'll check out more of 480east.

Not their best work

I have all of their albums and this one sucks compared to the other albums. Do not hesitate to buy any of the previous albums. You will not be disappointed these guys are awesome!!!
