About

Use the Force boldly reimagines classic movie themes with funky grooves, jazzy harmony, and epic solos, inspired by the epic music of John Williams and other composers for film and TV. Think Harry Potter wallowing in butterbeer in New Orleans and Darth Vader busting out head spins at a dance party.

This accomplished quintet transforms cinematic masterpieces through the prism of groovy, soulful funky-jazz fusion. Followed by Carboy.
