Joe Locke 'Force of Four'
Joe Locke 'Force of Four'
Featuring Joe Locke (vibes), Robert Rodriguez (piano), Johnathan Blake (drums), Ricardo Rodriguez (bass)
Joe Locke leads a unique new quartet, made so by the melding of four distinct musical personalities into a fresh sounding ensemble. The influences of New York, Cuba, Philadelphia and Puerto Rico, as well as the many places travelled by these four player/composers, come together in this group.
"This is one of the very best groups I've ever assembled", says Locke. "Whether the music is swinging hard, funky or delicate, these guys know how to squeeze the juice out of the material. Playing with this band is really rewarding."
