Jack Foster III graduated from San Mateo High School in 1977… He went to college in Middlebury, Vt, and graduated with honors with a degree in Music Composition and Theory in 1981. After briefly pursuing music as a career, Jack made the natural evolution from musician to Real Estate professional. He joined the San Mateo firm, Interland, went back to school to receive an MBA from USC, and then joined the family firm, Foster Enterprises, and became a partner. Recently, Jack has gotten back to his true love and has released several solo albums: The Evolution of Jazzraptor in 2003, Raptorgnosis in 2005, and Tame Until Hungry in 2007. He plays in a six-piece band called Mojophonic, and sings with a five-voice, close harmony group called Full House.
His new album with Trent Gardner and Robert Berry is out now under the moniker Jack Frost III – Jazzraptor’s Secret. Here we got a very interesting record for sure mixing many Progressive Rock, and Fusion elements. I can even notice some Pomp Rock touches here and there into the vein of Asia or IQ just to mention some bands to make you understand. All those gathered under a smooth production, presented under ultra technical structures, with melody and emotion let to be the top of the musical mountain after all.
Brilliant acoustic guitar parts are mixed with stormy Prog breakings, Epic / Pomp bridges, Queen-inspired multi vocal choruses and psychedelic keyboard parts. You can also add those adventurous, narrative guitar solos to the puzzle, yes they are a top feature in here. Well this is a Progressive Rock storm my friends!
Well at the end of the day (eem the album I mean) you will find yourself asking for more and there it goes again after you have pressed the play vutton for one more time.
Great stuff for sure, do not miss it!
