Forces and Feelings

Forces and Feelings is an album by the American jazz saxophonist Maurice McIntyre recorded in 1970 and released by the Delmark label.

[1][2] AllMusic reviewer Al Campbell stated: "Much like his first effort, Humility in Light of the Creator, Forces and Feelings projects a spiritual tone.

[3] Harvey Pekar of The Austin Chronicle wrote: "The improvisation... may not be based on pre-set chord progressions, but the groups' performances are tight and coherent; members pay attention to collective interplay and textural and dynamic subtleties.

"[4] Writing for The Hum, Bradford Bailey commented: "We find McIntyre pushing into unimaginable places, and bringing clarity to his unique creative voice.

He skirts closer to outright Free-Jazz with incredibly complex tonal relationships and rhythmic partnerships, but never loses the depth of emotion which characterizes his playing.
