The Force: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About The Force

The Force is a small‑group jazz outfit heard in New York City’s club circuit, including sets at Smalls Jazz Club. Often fronted by drummer Adriel Vincent‑Brown, the band works in a straight‑ahead format shaped by close listening, steady time, and clear melodic writing. Their network overlaps with players and projects tied to Tommy Morimoto and saxophonist Mark Gross, and the personnel shifts with the room and the book. The performances favor ensemble balance over display.
