The title "Best Of" may come as a surprise at first, as the 1997 release was only the third album by the US jazz ensemble; and many more followed. But in retrospect, the title actually fits, as the compilation is a "Best Of" of the original line-up, as guitarist Lee Ritenour left the group shortly after the release.
Three new tracks have been added: "Higher Ground", "4 Play and Pleasure" and "Any Time of Day". The quartet is supported by star guests such as Chaka Khan on Fourplay's best-known song "Beetween The Sheets", the a cappella group "Take 6" on "Higher Ground" and Phil Collins on "Why Can't It Wait Till Morning".
