| 3rd Force, the highly talented Smooth Jazz group has | | | | 3rd Force originally released Force Field on Feb 23, |
| released their latest CD titled Force Field and Wow! It's | | | | 1999 on the Higher Octave record label. |
| really a good one. | | | | CD Track List Follows: |
| Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I get a CD from | | | | 1. Revelation Of The Heart |
| an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to | | | | 2. Something Special |
| from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two | | | | 3. The Closer You Get |
| that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all | | | | 4. Give It All You Got |
| the case with Force Field. Every track is enjoyable and | | | | 5. Straight Up |
| was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish. | | | | 6. Secret Sauce |
| One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when | | | | 7. Bridge Of Dreams |
| the talent is this rich even if Smooth Jazz isn't your | | | | 8. Step Into My Life |
| favorite style you still can't help but appreciate the | | | | 9. 7th Heaven |
| greatness on display here. | | | | 10. Once In A Lifetime |
| I give Force Field my highest recommendation. It just | | | | 3rd Force: William Aura (vocals, keyboards, bass, |
| plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection | | | | percussion); Alain Eskinasi (guitar, keyboards, bass, |
| regardless of genre preference. | | | | percussion); Craig Dobbin (piano, keyboards). Additional |
| While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout | | | | personnel includes: Grant Geissman (guitar, nylon string |
| tracks are The Closer You Get [track 3], Step Into My | | | | guitar, slide guitar); Craig Chaquico, Brian Hughes |
| Live [track 8], and Once In A Lifetime [track 10]. | | | | (guitar); Richard Hardy (flute, bamboo flute, clarinet, |
| My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore | | | | saxophone, horns); Paul Taylor (soprano saxophone); |
| [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 7, Bridge Of | | | | John Klemmer, Bryan Savage (saxophone); John |
| Dreams. This is a great track! | | | | Halbleib (trumpet, flugelhorn, horns). |
