USE THE FORCE
Formerly JOHN WILLIAMS JAM BAND

Picture
Use the Force boldly reimagines classic movie themes with funky grooves, jazzy harmony, and epic solos, inspired by the epic music of John Williams, but also featuring the music of other composers for cinema and television. Think Harry Potter wallowing in butterbeer in New Orleans and Darth Vader busting out the head spins at a dance party. 
     Though this juxtaposition sounds downright silly, the band is serious about their music. This accomplished quintet draws upon their deep reservoir of musical skills to transform cinematic masterpieces through the prism of groovy, soulful funky-jazz fusion.
     
​With Rick Stone
(sax), Nick Grondin (guitar), Sean Farius (bass), Giuseppe Paradiso (drums).
