I'll admit I'm not big on the "smooth jazz" genre. To me, it's not jazz; it's mostly syrupy R&B without the Screamy-Mimi histrionics. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just not jazz. So I didn't take much notice of the press release that crossed my desk about an upcoming performance by Fourplay in Dearborn. I was somewhat familiar with them, but took a moment to go check out some tracks from their most recent release, "Energy," and it got me grooving. Good stuff.
You can go check 'em out live this Saturday at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center, for a good cause. The show will benefit the Don Bosco Hall in Detroit, a charitable place that helps youths develop life skills though recreation, counseling, and developmental programs. Tickets are $50-$125.
And thanks to Ashley at Marx Layne for calling my attention to the event.
