From Jazziz

Anyone not hip to the diverse sounds coming from the Higher Octave label these days can find a perfect introduction in 3rd force's Force Field. While the electronic keyboard trio of William Aura, Craig Dobbin, and Alain Eskinasi provides thick, acid-jazzy grooves that range from dreamy and laid-back to shuffling hip-hop, trip-hop, and aggressive blues, some of the label's biggest names have a ball strutting their own way up in the mix. Grant Geissman, in particular, goes easy on the nylon string, swampy on the slide guitar, and joyously funky on electric. Brian Hughes' brisk electric work takes center stage on the throbbing "Something Special," and Craig Chaquico's acoustic lines weave in and out of Richard Hardy's wistful sax harmony on "The Closer You Get." Ozzie Ahlers interjects a few lively piano solos on two of the Chaquico-led tunes, but Dobbin's sparkling piano work is just as grand. And on "Revelation of the Heart," Paul Taylor's soprano-sax lines form a call-and-response with the hypnotic piano melody.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fusion Jazz, November 30, 2000

By 

Dj M.O.D (Lincoln, NE United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Force Field (Audio CD)

This CD is a great CD to have as background music or for you avid jazz listeners this is where it is at. Force Field combines the sounds of jazz sounds that you would normally hear such as instruments from the brass section, and also has what sounds like an electric acoustic guitar which blends in beautifully to create this masterpiece from 3rd Force. If you enjoy 3rd Force or are looking for more awesome music check out Craig Chaquico, an awesome guitarist that will awe and amaze you. Good luck shopping/browsing.

This is my first time hearing 3rd Force, but have been listening to smooth jazz for the past 20 years. I have heard this music on 94.7 the wave and didnt know who I was listening to, now that I know, It all makes sense. I absolutely love this stuff. This is the kind of music that just makes you feel good! I would highly recommend this CD if your looking for something to lift your spirits! This is the essence of smooth jazz!!!
