props to a special friend for this rip :)
Four80East is the brainchild of producers Rob DeBoer and Tony
Grace, also known internationally for their indie
label/production house, Boomtang. Originally conceived in the
studio in 1997 as a side project from the more commercial pop
music they had been working on, Four80East was born as a small
indie release in England later that year, simply entitled "The
Album". áWhat began as a whim went on to revitalize the Smooth
Jazz world the following summer when they broke through in the
States with "Eastside", a mid-tempo groover that became the
seventh most-played track on Contemporary Jazz radio that
year.
In early 2000, their follow-up album "Nocturnal" was released
by Higher Octave Music to wide acclaim. á
This "stylish set of late-night grooves" was listed by
JazzTimes magazine as one of the top 50 albums of that year.
"Round 3" followed in 2002, and saw the band start to make the
transition from studio project to live act. áFour80East made
their live debut at the Catalina Island Jazztrax Festival in
October of 2003.
"En Route" was produced over most of 2005 and 2006, as the
boys were juggling a variety of other projects, including
raising their families (they have five boys between them).
áWith a new label - Native Language Music - behind them,
Four80East is back in the saddle!
