3rd Force

3rd Force celebrates their tenth anniversary with the release of their sixth CD, titled Gentle Force. William Aura, Craig Dobbins, and Alain Eskinasi are the three points of the 3rd Force triangle, and the combined result of their talents has produced an

The image of three interlocking triads on this compilation's cover helps illustrate the intent and appeal of 3rd Force. At their best, the group's members--multi-instrumentalists William Aura, Craig Dobbin, and Alain Eskinasi (plus an ever-changing list of guest lead instrumentalists)--cross-pollinate melodic New Age, smart grooves, and understated jazz textures to produce a brand of pop-minded lite jazz that is clever, fluid, and often infectious. Not every track succeeds as memorably as the smart and sassy "In the Full Moon Light" (with Rick Braun on flugelhorn) or the sweetly propulsive "You Gotta Be Real" (Peter White on acoustic guitar), but the 3rd Force formula is, for the most part, consistently attractive. Two new selections (both largely generic) open Collective Force, so if you own all or most of the four albums sampled here, you may not need this collection. Yet for those new to 3rd Force, or anyone inclined toward smooth-jazz with a melodic-pop nexus, Collective Force makes a very tasteful introductory package.


Collective Force

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.


Force Field

All-star lead melodic voices work more effectively on 3rd Force's latest, Vital Force, because the primary goal set by the main trio of William Aura, Craig Dobbin, and Alain Eskinasi (multi-instrumentalists all) is to create a playground of vibe and atmos
